If at a CG, even a basic lock is good enough -- it keeps the skulkers at bay and the honest people honest.
On the road, if it is one bike, I have a mount on my truck where it goes in, the front wheels goes inside the rear cab, and I then use a heavy duty security chain to ensure that if someone loosens the bike from the mount, it won't go far.
