We've got a big campaign against bike theft here in London. Here's one video produced showing good/bad locking techniques etc.

I like locking a U-lock to my belt and letting it ride on my hip; as long as you cant it heavy-side-up with the loop angled back, it actually doesn't bounce around much. (I tried that handlebar thing for about a week, and the rattling and control issues drove me about nuts. Plus it was pushing all the bowden cables all over the place, which was making my brakes and derailers behave insanely.)

If I'm not wearing a belt, I just purse it, because I haven't found any other sensible solution. (It's a 49cm frame, so basically no dice on those handy-looking mounting brackets.)
