I just bought my first bike since childhood.  I never
expected to pay $500 for a bike and accessories but I
did.  It scares the hell out of me to think it might
get stolen.  I also hate the thought of being afraid
to leave the bike anywhere, therefore being afraid to
take it out, therefore not making much use of it.

Are there any anti theft devices/schemes?

Will my bike be safe with just a chain and combination
lock?  Should I deface my bike and make it look less
atractive?

Any thoughts?
