Motorcycle Thief & Chop-Shop Operator Q&A

Good read (long though)

Coles notes:
Use a big mofo chain
Keep chain high if possible so thief can't use ground for leverage
Chain/disc lock on rear wheel, front is much easier to defeat

There are a few more points, but those seem to be the important ones
 
some interesting points to read. And the post about the guy loosing his bike in under 1min..

this is interesting:
Sounds like it's going to take a while, certainly more than 30 seconds. I would move on. However if I saw it and was to get it I would do something like come back to shake it with a dog. See if an alarm goes off and if so wait around and see where the owner comes from and how long it takes for him to get there. Then I have an excuse for being near your bike "Hey sorry, my dog got away and bumped into your bike." Maybe stalk it a bit and see when you come and go. It would be out of order for me, but even if an alarm never went off it might be the odd bike I check on the spot. CAREFULLY remove the seats, pull the tank up, look around for wires and boxes that don't belong. Just a quick check for the time being. Get the ignition ready, then start working on the locks and break the steering trying not to move the bike at all.
