Yes, use locks. But pay your insurance too.
Here's why:
1. Many (most?!) storage compartments have the same keys. Look for CH751 and then check your neighbor.
2. Even the hardest locks can be cut open with a battery powered Dremel Tool in about a minute. Every bicycle thief knows this one.
3. Wheel locks are even easier. Just hammer on a tight fitting wrench socket and then remove the lock nut in the same time as a regular one.
They are a deterrent - but just a minor one.
