ACK! The battery was stolen out of my 125 again!

Third time this year!
I live in a bit of a rough area of San Francisco (SOMA). I had been taking my battery with me every night after locking it up, but most recently it was stolen during the day! (11:45 am according to the security camera).
I'm wondering if anyone else has had this problem and/or has a solution. I'm thinking about figuring out how to make a cable lock around the battery and box? Any ideas? Maybe I'll just buy a quick disconnect so I can take the battery with me? Is there is a smaller battery can replace it with so its a bit easier to carry around? When I park it by my apartment its the only time I have any issue with it.
I used to take the battery out at night and lock it in the seat compartment but then that was broken into and the battery was stolen out of that as well!
(also, anyone have ideas why they want the battery? Aside from use in another scooter I can't think of any reason)
Its a real bummer as I don't use the scooter as much do to the extra hassle of pulling the battery in and out all the time.
Thanks for reading my question filled rant/post!
