It sucks you have to do this but it's the unfortunate reality of motorcycling.
As far as casing out your place, it doesn't matter. Stealing a bike by experienced thieves is easy work. Even with security chains, this won't stop professional thieves. It just takes them moments to cut through any locks or chains and then a few seconds to toss the bike into a van with a mattress to cushion the bike.

You are absolutely right. Getting a place with a garage would be ideal. I'm just not ready to lock into a mortgage commitment yet, lol. because of that, I know it would be best for me to just curb my passion for riding until that time comes (much easier said than done).
The smart and experienced motorcycle thieves wont be stopped by pretty much any security measures if they sopt a bike they want. I understand that. it is just a shame, but also realistic that we have to go through extremes to protect our toys when living in an urban environment.
I am still going through withdrawl without a bike. I have my eye on a couple different bikes for a potential replacement, but I know storage and security will be a challenge. I am currently weighing out my security and storage options before I pull the trigger on a new toy... but my S1KRR will be missed for some time.
