Not entirely. Seems like we both ride nice/expensive commuter bikes, and both take reasonable precautions to prevent theft.

My "minimum" security tends to be a U-lock through the rear-wheel and rear-triangle and a solid rack. I often cover my expensive saddle with plastic shopping bags. Sometimes I use a "seat saver" cable, secured to the U-lock. Sometimes I run a cable through the front-wheel and front-triangle, ideally secured to a rack at one end, and the U-lock at the other end. Sometimes I use the U-lock, as described, and add a chain around the front-wheel, front-triangle, and a secure rack.

I don't plan on being lazy with any of that basic security stuff... I'm just thinking that combined with secure locking, no one would even want an ugly, distinct, or nondescript bike.
