I have a habit from when I was a kid and the theft problems were a lot worse of locking the front wheel and the frame to whatever I'm locking it to and sometimes not bothering to lock the rear wheel. The rear wheel is clearly more valuable, but I've never seen one stolen because it involves just a bit too much mechanical effort for the average moronic opportunist thief. Unlocked front wheels used to get stolen a lot, on the other hand.
