why should you have to secure your bike with ridiculous amounts of hardware? Why should it be your fault that your bike gets stolen? The person who steals it is just the antisocial moron who is always at fault, who has the problem and sadly shouldnt have the thought "oo that would be an easy steal, I will have that".
Those cheap locks are fine (i would imagine) in places where you are just trying to secure your bike to stop some drunk wandering off with it, not trying to make it impregnable to an aerial bombardment like in london.
