Best way to secure seatpost from theft?

[row]

What's the best way? A quick release and suspension seat post would seem to attract a thief!

I have a quick release seat post and a lightweight cable threaded through the seat rails to deter anyone passing from lifting it out. It wouldn't be too difficult to cut through but you can't guard against everything in life!

They would have to drill the seatpost bolt out which would be to much effort for them to do it really

Hi row,
Have a look at the Zefal Lock'n Roll system http://www.zefal.com/en/locking-pins/93-lock-n-roll.html
You set the seat/post to the required height and if you ever need to adjust or remove it you have to turn the bike upside down to unlock it

Take it with you. Most parked bikes around here are left without the seat and seat post on which also discourages ride away theft. Method requires a backpack however.

By far the easiest and cheapest option, is to take it with you!
