This is how I lock my bike if I have to leave it alone for a while, I think it's about as good as I can do with the 2 locks I've got. I've put the front lock through the fork legs to try to minimise the empty space in the lock that could be used for leverage.
As a rule I think it's really important to secure both ends of the bike so that it doesn't / can't fall over. I really hate it when I see a bike hanging off a rack. It's so easy for them to get damaged like that.
I also always take a photo of my bike every time I leave it anywhere. Not sure if this is at all useful for insurance purposes (probably not), but it makes me feel a little better.
