You really only need to:
1. Make your shed/garage more secure than your neighbour's.
or
2. Make your bike less desirable than your neighbour's.Of course if you like your neighbours too much to do this you can simply leave a high value mountain bike at the back of a lightly secured shed and then replace the floor with a trap door leading to a pit with some of IWRATS roosting ravens (and snakes for good measure).
I would do this but I need to store the cement for my nightly wheel concreting in the shed.

To get bikes into and out of my shed requires a great deal of practice to tilt them in just the right way to get them through the opening without the handlebars or saddle catching on the jamb or being caught by the handlebars or brake levers of something else (thanks to the shed-builders not understanding millimetres and reducing the door height by a couple of inches), so anyone trying to steal them would probably wake everybody up with their frustrated swearing and rattling.

If last week's trip to Amsterdam was anything to go by the Dutch approach to bike security seems to be somewhat less elaborate:
1. leave your bike outside your apartment building with a wheel lock
2. have exactly the same bike as everyone else
3. when your bike ends up in the canal, shrug and get a new oneVideo illustrates it here: https://twitter.com/crabbitcopy/status/774229776110383104
I noticed that even the more upmarket touring bikes of the Dutch folk we met on the ferry still had wheel locks. One guy asked me how the British locked their bikes, as we had no visible locks on the wheels - he seemed to think we just didn't lock them at all.

I read a bit fast and thought at first that acsimpson was suggesting filling the pit under the trapdoor with IWRATS (multiple, hungry and vicious, I assumed).
