That's my opinion too.
What's that thing that new commuters and cyclists are told, 10% of the value of the bike should be spent on locks?
It's a hazy number if you've picked up a vintage bargain, but the idea of setting aside up to £200 for a serious set of locks that can take care of the major components is seriously worth thinking about.
Thankfully London isn't as bad as NYC. The fuckers over there steal seat posts, saddles, brakes, pedals. There's not much you can do when they start taking components. But when it comes to wheels it should be a no-brainer.
