Would you ever leave your bike overnight at a busy station?

No, even with a good lock and an (as ever dodgy ) insurance policy. It would be mad. Bonkers actually.
Do you mean to say you don't take your best bike down the pub to show it off?
I have been told that Carbon melts in the rain, so do not want to risk getting splashed with beer that is 99% water in case 99% of the frame melts.

Only if I'd resprayed and modified it to look like a heap of junk.

no.
i occasionally leave my commuter overnight, but that's in a pass-controlled cctv monitored shed out of public view. i still take/lock anything that could be easily lifted though, so d-lock with extra cables for front wheel and saddle are also deployed…

I find it hard to leave my bike anywhere out of sight. I probably have severe attachment issues. I could use my 1990s MTB, which is technically worth buttons, but as Vickster says up there ^^^, it's not the market value, it's how you would replace it if it got taken.

Another vote for no here. My bike is only ever out of my sight when I am at work or asleep...

Nope.
I get a sense of relief seeing my bike still locked up at the end of the working day, when it is behind controlled access gates at work..

At work, mine is in a corridor behind an electronic door lock, with extremely limited access (security and IT staff only) and the facility to run a report (name, date, time) on all attempts to open the door. In a building with similar locks front and back which houses our secure cash office. On a site in the middle of nowhere. And STILL I have a little moment when I see the bike is where I left it.
