Counterintuitive, but reviewing ~600 reports has shown that locking up in a place with lots of people around and eyes on the bike does not seem to afford more protection-- many many thefts happen in broad daylight, in places where there's no way the theft could not have been observed by someone (these are almost always cable lock thefts-- for the few that aren't, there's no way to eliminate user error).
How are bikes with cable locks stolen, bolt cutters on the lock or cable?
