I've had my bike taken in Davis twice.
Once I was just being stupid and left my bike unlocked just for a minute or 2 when I ran into a store to buy something.
2nd time was leaving it locked (with u-lock) outside my apartment overnight every night in the same location.
These days I just have a folder and carry it inside with me as it folds up very small and doesn't take up much space. Very easy to keep inside an apartment etc.
This is what I currently have:

Took it with me because I wanted a foldy-bike during my vacation to bike-friendly Portland and Austin. It actually replaced my street bike, and now I ride it every day to work. Very rarely do I bring it on the subway, and usually either very late at night or early in the morning. People lose their minds when they see it unfold (because they never seen that before), and I rather not attract attention.
Note that my commute is only about 3 miles away, so the small tires are just about right. Rides longer than that, and you might need bigger wheels.
Only good in the street though. I tried it on trails, and it was TERRIBLE.
A cheap, single speed Dahon is $400. If that is too expensive, or you want/need a geared bike, I would start saving your money.
