Default Locking technique for an FS frame (problems with traditional locking)

I was just thinking about how people lock their bike by securing the rear tire through the rear triangle of their bike and how that is generally effective because most thieves wouldn't try to pull the wheel through the frame or cut of the wheel.

That system doesn't necessarily apply though to all FS frames (Let's just say the Specialized Stumpjumper FSR for this example b/c that's what I have). In this case, the rear triangle of the frame is not entirely welded as in traditional non-full-suspension-frames, and therefore the rear triangle could be disassembled, thus making the traditional way of locking a bike (as in the way described above) useless.

That being said, what is the next best suggestion for locking up a bike when taking FS frames into consideration?
