I'm not saying this strategy can be implemented by everyone, will work forever, or that it's just. My only claim is that if you implement it now, it'll greatly reduce the probability of theft. Also: My bike is actually fairly expensive but doesn't look so. The new cost was over $1000 at the time as I recall, comparable to a new e-bike. (I bought it used for a fraction of that.) The bike doesn't need to be cheap, just not look attractive to a thief.
