    Mine needs a key to start but most importantly: Get a quality ulock and use it correctly. Consider a cut resistant chain, alarm, and tracker as well especially if you have a pricey ride.

      No chain is sufficient if a thief is set on stealing something. Chains and locks only stop opportunistic theft. You can cut a u lock in 30 seconds with a battery operated angle grinder that fits in a small backpack. EG this 30s video https://youtu.be/RI9SEThrJMY

      You can cut 4 cables within a minute with a hand tool https://youtu.be/-rphMwxTr54

        You can cut some ulocks in 30 seconds. Try that with a high end ABUS or better yet a Skunk Lock lol
