I'm trying to use my car less and bike to places where I can. I've thought about getting an e-bike to extend the range of places I can bike to, but one things that's holding me back is what do I do with it while at the store? If it were just my crappy normal bike I wouldn't really worry too much about someone stealing it, but if I'm gonna spend a few hundred on an e-bike I am nervous about leaving it unattended.

What are your thoughts?

Find a place and lock it up. There are grinder resistant locks now but get insurance if you're very worried.

Kryptonite Fahgettaboutit are the best locks and chains you can get. Lockpocking Lawyer recommends them. I use mine to park my bike in the streets of Medellin and have never had an issue.
