Nothing can escape theft during long-term outdoor storage, but with this lock, I've literally seen bike thieves leave my bike alone (park your bike at Meiji and watch through the window). Should be enough for short term:

I'd spend around $100-$120. Thieves are getting good at breaking the larger, cheaper U-locks.
If you're like me your bike frame might not fit a u lock like that. I've heard good things about this type of lock:

What do you mean lock proof? Just get one of these. I rock this in the city in LA with no problems.

My observation from a Uni where pushbikes regularly got stolen, is that even really phat cable locks get cut with bolt cutters. I'd have more faith in this style, tho to be fair, I've not got a clue what I'm talking about....

You'll only need one set for the rest of your life and this will never happen again, trust me. That one's actually on special, so you should do it.
:)
What I do (I commute to and from work (which is school)):
I bought two chain locks. I leave one at school on the lock I use, and keep one at home for short errands. Why? It weighs 8 pounds, and that would suck to carry routinely.
Alternatively, get a u-lock for short errands.
Security wise, a chain lock is better.
My chain(s)
My U-lock
After reading all of the bike stealing threads, bike stolen videos etc. I purchased:
This
and this
and this
I think I'll be good.
It really comes down to comfort. I leave a Kryptonite Chain Lock at work so I don't have to lug a serious lock w/ me every day on my commute. For popping into the store on my way home, I carry a Palmy aluminum u-lock which is by no means safe, but it IS very light. Otherwise, I carry the Kryptonite mini u-lock
BUT...all this being said, if a thief wants a bike, they're going to get it. The only thing you can do is to deter them.
i have one of these
there's a huge problem with it actually. it's way too goddamn heavy
seriously, the fucking thing weighs like as much as a fishtank full of water.
i've heard you literally cannot cut the thing in any reasonable amount of time, and only if you have a plasma torch. i tried a composite angle grinder on a u lock made out of the same material and had absolutely no luck.
I have a 'Fagettaboutit' lock and this lock and chain but I rarely, if ever leave my bike out on the street.
Disk lock is pretty hard to beat for the price. Downside is thieves will just lift bikes into trucks, especially if they're in the open. Only takes a couple guys to lift a bike.
I'd also recommend chaining it to something stationary, if possible, using something like this.
some good options to consider are these:
1: [Alarm Disc Lock] (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B074M61FWH/_encoding=UTF8?coliid=I2YKSPYCUB2K3&colid=R1FSNPORC4DP&psc=0) even though it says 'for motorcycles' it will work on a bike,
2: and this mega [heavy duty chain] (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001KQ5ZRG/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1)
3: and this lock, which I don't have experience with, has the highest rating from a recent review of the top locks [Abus Granit Extreme 59 U-Lock, 10"/16mm] (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000OYHNU2/_encoding=UTF8?coliid=I324LTWE3EAZZ4&colid=R1FSNPORC4DP&psc=1)
No I'm suggesting you look up retailers in the area and buy it from them. They cost about 100~200 CAD.
Edit because I'm sure you won't bother searching.

And there's much more if you put some effort into searching. What you see on their page isn't the retail price but the anti theft protection and up to how much they're reimbursing should a bike lock get cut or stolen with that bike lock in place. You should really do some research into what you're claiming. Prevents you from looking silly like thinking that the bike lock costs $4000. There's a nice tag before it that states ANTI THEFT PROTECTION with a hyperlinked url to a FAQ page explaining their reimbursement policies.

http://www.kryptonitelock.com/Documents/anti_theft_website_2012.pdf <- Maximum payout vs Insurance Prices per year/renewal
Some more info just because I'm a nice person.
tl;dr Read you twat. It isn't a four thousand dollar lock. It's insured up to that amount. No where on the page does it say the cost of the lock is that much. States right before these supposed prices "ANTI THEFT PROTECTION : (INSERT PRICES) ".
