Honestly just buy a nice lock and maybe cover the logos up. That's all I can think of.

it peels off so nicely that it will look like your bike's paint is just flaking right off

I paper mache'd a bike - wallpaper glue, sealed with some acrylic. Gaffer tape on the top tube due to rubbing. Tons of rain can make it funky, I probably would recommend it if you live in a super wet place. It's fun and reversible though!

Chances are that you and everyone else you know already has a pista. It's okay, they'll probably steal one of the other person's. In all reality though, a lock is usually a pretty good solution. I know that we're all paranoid and what not, but i have never had any problems.
