This. My most expensive bike isn't worth $500. Hell, the bike I'm converting to a winter commuter cost me less than the rack I'm buying for it.

If its a low crime area, similar bikes are being parked, and you have no enemies. Go ahead and ride the spendy ride.
Otherwise, you might think of finding another option.
