Lucky me, one wall of my ground floor office is glass, and in the rare event I actually show up at the office, I can sit at my desk, look up, and see it out there in all it's black/gold/chrome glory.
But I wasn't always so lucky. Unless you work in a war zone, just park it where you're supposed to and chillax about it. Or, get a cheap beater bike, insure it, and pray it gets stolen (hint: it won't).

Some of us ride bikes that insurance can't replace. I park on the sidewalk under one of the security cameras at work.

How do cameras prevent or stop crime? I've seen large businesses whose cameras show that it was big foot, or any other humaniod.

The cameras are a deterrent. I lock the rotors & the forks. It's the best I can do. If the bike gets stolen I can't exactly walk into the dealer & find another FXR.....

I too think your bike will be okay...unless you are in an area of high theft.
So, I recommend a wireless alarm - with secondary battery....if your bike is moved you get a page.
I'd bet if one wanted to steal your bike they would use a lift and tow truck.
Chain w/ lock would be easily defeated, hidden kill switch not applicable in a tow.
Good luck.

When I was working, our entire perimeter at the plant was fenced and gated. Had to have a scan card to get in. The motorcycle parking area was next to the rear door, but next to the fence. Parked and never worried.
I too park in all sorts of public, accessible areas. I guess I just don't worry too much. Lock what I can, and do my business.
