Yes on the 3rd Floor! a Xena is a good investment for you will hear the Alarm also when you park it for the End of your day the Disc Lock for the Front or Rear is a good way to go as well. No ONE likes to come out and find it GONE! To Avert peepers with Stealing Eyes A Motorcycle cover is also helpful ans most don't look twice due to the trouble of getting caught looking under and so on.
Never make it so easy that you get laughed at by the Crooks While they are Removing your Property. Most times when someone Hasn't ever Lost a Vehicle it won't really Register till it happens. Then it does! Most people that put time into a project no matter what it is take more care than some do.
A Simple Motorcycle Approved Disc Lock will give you the peace of mind (hopefully) need way up on the #3,rd Floor. Suggestion/ Harbor Freight has a Simple Camera you could Point through your window down at your Property. A Inexpensive way to use the Video Plug in the back of your TV. Good Luck.*Jimi

I have the Xena xx14 on the rear disc, $ well spent, no nuisance alarms but it is VERY sensitive if someone even touches my bike, scared the crap outta the neighbor kids a few times. Look, but DON'T TOUCH 
the xena alarm locks are pretty good but don't get the cheap entry level one like i did or the first time it gets wet you'll have it randomly going off the rest of the time you own it. I'll lock her up, making sure it is settled completely (not going to shift or anything) and walk away and about 30% of the time i won't get more than 15 steps away before i hear it going off.
I assume, or at least hope, that the nicer ones don't have that problem

Alarms, wheel locks, etc. Like stated before, all of those are deterents only. My 2009 XB9SX was stolen from right outside our apartment between 2-8 in the morning on the 4th of July this year. Found out from the cops that these guys have a very simple, effective and most of all FAST way of taking your ride. They pull up with a trailer, right next to the bike, two, even one guy gets out on the othe side and pushes your ride over on its side and then holds it in place while the driver hauls-a** out of there. Takes 45 seconds max (with a decent enough driver and a strong arm that's quick getting out). Thank you God, 2 months later I get a call from the cops saying they found my ride. After checking it out (it's in one piece... more or less) I can tell that is exactly what happened. Fellow Buellies, watch out for your rides, because the next day they could be gone. Right now I have at least $300 worth of parts to buy to get my ride back to close to factory...
