Best security method for bike left outside gym etc

news.cisco.com said:

I'm looking for suggestions on best/practical locks and methods for
securing my bike while I leave it outside the gym and the office?

What's the risk scenario? Do you live in a high crime area? Are you
riding an ultra-light bike that's worth a fortune or an old clunker?
Can you take the bike inside? Do you want the lightest lock you can
get away with or would you be prepared to buy two big hefty locks and
leave one at the gym and the other in the office?

For this we have the Brompton, which folds neatly and can be carried
inside to safety :-)

Shirley a *nasty* great big Alsation would be more effective...

<nods> Maybe they should acquire the Alsation from one of the farms I
deliver mail to -> which is sufficiently psychotic that it has been known
to attack the van!

And then there was the person who tied the pit bull to the same post
where I had earlier locked my bike. Luckily I was not in a hurry.
