Proper Bike Locks

This guy named Hal Ruzal critiques how New Yorkers lock their bicycles.  He grades them on the standard school scale of A - F.  I can say that I would easily get an F.  And I thought I was doing a good job keeping my bike safe when taking it to the grocery store.  All I have is 1 lock that I lock the frame to the pole at the grocery store.  I get a F-.  I need to lock up my new bicycle seat, my front wheel and back wheel to the bike too.  I guess I am ignorant.  Although it's a bit safer (not that much safer) in California because in my entire life the only thing that has ever been taken was a bike seat at the mall in Canoga Park.  I was only gone for 5 minutes too so they got it relatively fast.  Then there was this one time that the entire bike was gone when I came out of school, someone picked my bike out of the hundreds of bikes at the school bike lot.
