Replying to an old post in this thread - I recently bought some of those GPS stickers on Amazon. They had two different types.
In addition to an ABUS Granite Plus (or whatever the very expensive folding lock is called), I also installed a cafe' lock. That way, I can secure the frame and front wheel with the folding lock, and the rear wheel with the cafe' lock. In addition, I installed a rear light that is also a loud horn and a motion sensor alarm (also from Amazon). When riding, I set the light to flashing, to get attention. When parked and locked, I enable the motion sensor. If you move the bike, you get a loud warning beep. Keep it up and it alarms.
The combination of an alarm to draw attention, and two different locks with decent security should make other bikes a better target. And, since I only ride for fun and exercise, I rarely need to leave the bike out of my sight, which makes the most difference.
