I hate disc locks, only tried once to ride off with it still fitted, will not use them again.
I hate alarms for the reasons already mentioned, plus I'm sure more riders have been left stranded by them than have stopped them being stolen.
If they want your bike they're going to have it, and usually I'll guess they'll be on the look out for bikes that get parked in the same place for a couple of days, with less security than others. All that more security does is make it take a little longer for them to get your bike and / or make another bike look more desireable.
Been to Europe loads of times and have the bike in the UK and follow some simple steps:
If there's secure parking, use it.
Park it next to another bike that is more desireable / valuable.
Don't park it in the rough looking areas.
Always put on the steering lock, and, leave it in gear.
Always remove anything that looks valuable eg tank bags / GPS etc.
Use hard luggage, it might only delay someone in the know by a few seconds, but the casual thief won't know.
