There's the small problem that while I can leave my car unattended on

like an awful lot of people, live in a small flat.
Have you heard of these things called "locks"?

Funny man. Have you heard of these things called "bolt cutters"?

A lock is sufficient, I am sure, if the bike is left in a busy area
where a naughty fellow would be seen cutting the lock off. It is not
going to be sufficient at 4am on a Monday night on a residential street.

Presumably, you speak from experience, or have statistics which make you
think this? It's just that i've left my bike overnight in all sorts of
places, quiet and otherwise, and it hasn't been nicked, and it sounds to
me a little bit like you might be talking out of your arse.
