I know somebody who used to use a cable to go round the frame and padlock the cable to a spoke. Because he said the only way to steal his bike would be to cut the spoke, and people either can't do it easily, or if someone manages to cut the spoke the bike can't be ridden with a spoke less... Erm... I got a good pair of cable cutter that can cut his spoke in a few secs, and I am pretty such a wheel with 1 missing spoke can be ridden far enough for him not to see the bike again. I was so tempted to steal his bike just to prove the point.
