A bit like the masses who don't know the difference between a £99 'halfords' special and a real bike.

No but they might sue if breaking your lock injured them

On bike theft.
I had my ebike nicked from outside a coffee shop in the suburbs of Oxford.
Ignoring the hassle with the insurance the real pain was the bits and pieces that went.
The rack, the pannier bags, the waterproof jacket and tools, pump, inner tube and puncture repair kit.
Budgeted 10% of the bike value for security this time.

That and acting as though you have every right to be there, doing what you're doing.

Why not use a £25 lock and insure your bike on your home contents policy for next to nothing?
I'd rather not have my bikes stolen to be honest. Having had to claim for stolen bikes on my insurance (2 of the young lads in my old neighbourhood pried the back of my shed off to nick 2 of my bikes), it's a ball ache. I was without my main commuter for nearly a month while I waited for everything to be approved, money transferred, the new bike and its accessories to be ready, etc. Plus nearly had to bail on a cycling trip I had planned with my friends because of it.

Read the small print of your policy. Page 48 in mine.
Also need to declare a bike above a specified value. That's in there too!
Needs a gold rated lock, certainly rated. Also needs to be locked to something permanent .
Wonder how I know this.
