Another tip, for you renters out there with nice bikes, is to make sure you have renter's insurance. It's cheap. Most policies will cover the replacement cost of stolen property, even if it is stolen away from you home. It's really the only way you're ever going to get you bike "back," if the worst thing happens. I'm not sure if homeowners can get the same sort of coverage?
I had my ortlieb bag of winter commuting gear stolen one night last year, after I foolishly left it outside briefly in a high theft area of chicago after work. I'm almost embarrassed to admit that the replacement cost of all my wool gear, work stuff, and bike stuff added up to over $600. It's just crazy how much you haul around in the depth of Chicago's winter. Anyway, it was nice to be able to pay my small deductible and get a whole new kit. Happened to me once with a different bike theft (Gunnar mtb). Renter's insurance is a good deal.
