Sort of hate to say it because I like good looking bikes, but the best deterrent is rust and graffiti ... Make it look bad with mis-matched wheels, stickers, and rattle can paint; and they'll prolly just leave it alone ...
Agree highly, ugly looking, no glitz, and mismatched, odds are way better it will be left alone. Everyone needs a good beater bike for urban or high risk use.
