I have a ~$1000 commuter with a u lock and cable. I ride it everywhere downtown for work/recreation and lock the frame/back tire to a structure, then the cable around the front tire. If you have a nice seat, then get another cable or bring a grocery bag to keep it out of sight. I put the bag on for rain protection, but it also keeps my nice Brooks saddle out of sight.
There is always a chance of something happening, but that is a good start.
