I use as my hack bike (not fixed) a bike of a brand that isn't sold in this country at all. The key to its lack of stealability, besides being quite deliberately run down, is that it is easy to describe. There are lots of distinctive bikes that are still difficult to describe and I think distinctiveness by itself doesn't necessarily mean that it'll be less attractive to a thief.
