I've been riding in the DC area since 2006 and on the Hillborne since 2012 - so far I've not had a bike stolen (said while knocking furiously on my wooden desk), though both of my bikes have had their frames replaced for other reasons. It certainly helps that I've been able to park indoors at home and work, so my bikes don't spend much time outdoors when I'm not riding them. Like I'm sure other RBW owners have experienced, I'm often asked "how old is your bike?", so the apparent out-of-date-ness might be an advantage, too.
My wife's shiny red road bike was stolen, though, during church on a Sunday morning. The security camera showed the thief breaking through her lower-end Kryptonite lock in under 30 seconds with some big bolt cutters. Hence the high-quality chain that now lives on that rack and gets used, er, religiously.
