What recommendations do you all have? I cannot anchor my scoot to any stationary object where I live.
I found this alarm. http://freymoto.com/cyclone_866F.php
<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/QNNBUkHWKPw&hl ... ram><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/QNNBUkHWKPw&hl=en&fs=1&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>
And of course the xena locks.
I am gonna use a cover, but I also found this alarm that connects to a motorcycle cover, under 20 bucks I might test it out just for the heck of it.

I use the Taurus alarm. When someone touches one of my scooters it emits a very loud noise repeatedly that notifies the potential thief that it is not in their best interest to touch one of my bikes.

The disk lock is going to be the best way to secure it without having an anchor. Be sure that you have theft insurance on it!

Xena lock
I rode my blackjack to Key West last week and used the xena lock. It worked perfectly!! I got the XX6 in yellow. Very easy to use, though a light in the key might have helped when I parked on a dark street.....

Have you talked with the apartment manager and let them know of your concerns, and how light and easy the Buddy is so steal?
Maybe request that they install something permanent for you to lock it to..? Who knows, they worst they can do is say no, right?
I'd still use the loud alarm, of course!
