I lock my bike any time I am not sitting on it. If I lean it against a bench, which I am sitting on, it is locked. Allows me to relax.
Only exception is my house.
I read somewhere that something like 1/3 of bikes are stolen from the owners own property. I lock up in the house. When i was burgled they ran off with a £100 TV not my many times more expensive bikes. Maybe i'm paranoid but i don't see the point in having a lock and a bike and not putting the two together when they aren't in use, even if it's in the house.
