And I highly recommend renter's insurance. besides locking your bicycle properly with a high-rated u-lock(s), that is the only preventive measure worth your time and money. Be sure to get a plan that covers your bicycle outside of the apartment. If you bike is stolen, you just pay the deductible and you'll be reimbursed the remainder.
