Missing in this article is the fact that many bikes are stolen out of private garages only a few weeks after buying them. So unless the thief spotted it on the road and followed it all the way home (doubtful), they are hacking into the databases of dealerships or insurance companies to find buyers of new bikes.

As for locks, buy a chain with links at least 14mm cross-section (can't be cut by anything except a plasma cutter), and put it through your swingarm, not just the wheel.
