These would probably do the trick... http://www.bicyclebolts.com/collections/security-allen-bolts
I know this notion offends some bob-types, but a bit of duct tape strategically placed on the lights seems to help. Makes them look dingy and worn. If the thief thinks your lens cover is about to fall off, they tend to move along. At least that's my experience with 2 bikes equipped with dynamo systems. I see a lot of pretty bikes here. Shiny, expensive bits. Spotlessly clean. They are nice. I appreciate them. But I wouldn't park a show-bike at our local Trader Joe. And I don't see "pretty" reflected in photos of Grant Petersen's bikes. Those bikes have straps and stuff hanging from the bars, un-matched bar tape, unmatched shifters, twine shellac'd to the saddle. In general: the scruffy look. I don't think Grant's approach is anti-theft, but he's certainly not polishing his rims so a thief can see his reflection.
