Great video! I'm lucky right now in having a secure garage where my bike lives during the workday (even there, I U-lock my cruiser to a vertical rack, and wheel-lock my Dutch bike plus chain it to a post), but when I leave either one of them in open bike parking for any period, I double-lock them.
For my Dutch bike, I just got an Abus Bordo lock, which is heavy but compact and easy to carry (who cares about an extra kilo on a 22-kilo bike?), and I might splurge on another one for my cruiser.
I don't worry too much about the quick-release wheels on my cruiser because I always lock to the frame and I don't think single-wheel theft is very common. Nevertheless, I feel better about my Dutch bike having no quick-releases anywhere.
