A friend of mine says she met a bike thief in the pub and he told her all his secrets. I'm sceptical, but apparently he emphasized that if bike thieves see an Abus lock, they don't bother even trying. I'd go with mobidog's advice - get a big fuckoff Abus chain (you can wear them round your waist, so they're easier to carry around than d-locks), and maybe a couple of d-locks as well (you can hang them from the chain round your waist, and it also means cars keep their distance so they don't get scratched).
And there's always the gaffer tape route...
