Not trying to be a downer, but in 10 years here i've had 4 bikes stolen, value varying from $250 to $1000. All 4 were locked, i would say securely - U locks, if not Kryptonite brand. All 4 were locked to either the giant M or W shaped bike racks by the T, or else to the a giant welded steel bike racks that live inside parking garages. 2 of the 4 (the more valuable 2) were Kryptonite brand locked to the W inside LOCKED garages that required security card or key entry only.
Oh, and since the Kryptonites were over 2 years old the guarantees had expired and they were not helpful.
Keep your renters'/homeowner's insurance up to date, and hide the bikes better. I wish i had better advice.
