Over the 30 years I've been commuting by bicycle, I get a bike stolen once every 3 years or so. My bikes cost in the neighbourhood of $1k each. It costs me about a buck a day to travel by bike, which is really cheap relative to other transportation options. The cost of replacing a stolen bike seems to be less of a concern for people than the feeling of having been violated and taken advantage of.
