I bought a used carbon frame racing bike 10 years ago for $400 and have had zero issues with theft. If it were stolen tomorrow I’d still have gotten very good value from it ($40 a year). I live in NYC. Take care to leave it in high-traffic places during the day (where a bike theft would be obvious), and in your home at night, and you should be fine.

This is solid advice. I also live in NYC, and the only time (so far) I've had a bike stolen was actually from my building's basement bike storage room over the winter (that I was paying $15/mo to use). When you think about it, this is a bad way to store your bike...lots of people have access, but it's rarely occupied by more than one person at a time, and of course the cameras either don't work or the recordings last a short while.
