Default Bike lock (bike stolen)

After falling prey to some scum bag and suffering a loss of my much loved
bicycle, I've decided to do some research into locks.

The bicycle had a D lock with a round key which is aparantly crap, and a
chain lock with a padlock type lock connecting it. I left the bike 3/4
mins came back it was gone in a very busy place, I guess no one cares or
people with there busy lives just walk on by.

The advice I'm after is what kind of lock(s) would be best for me ?

I've had a bit of a knock confidence wise even buying a new bike, but I
have and just wanting to make sure it doesn't happen again. Although I
know it can if the theif wants it they will get it, I just want to create
enought of a deterrent to make them think too much hassle.


It's one reason why I don't use expensive bikes. I have 2. One is
semi-decent and the other is one which no one in their right mind will
steal. It looks tatty but functions as well as any other bike.
