I use a cable lock which would probably stop you if you had forgotten your bolt cutters but is primarily there to deter the opportunist. This is, however, in deepest North Norfolk where crime isn’t very high. In Colchester where I had my bike stored in the communal bike sheds, locked properly with 2 D locks I came in one day to find everything that could be nicked from the bike gone (they’d come armed with a full tool kit) and everything that couldn’t be nicked broken and bent beyond recognition. The 2 D Locks survived intact and unscathed.

In London I did have a second cable for the front wheel, having lost a wheel to thieves before. Makes for a long walk home…

Pish; and indeed tush. I only use a single D-lock. But I make sure to leave it where anyone could see a malefactor up to no good.
