What's the best way? A quick release and suspension seat post would seem to attract a thief!

I have a quick release seat post and a lightweight cable threaded through the seat rails to deter anyone passing from lifting it out. It wouldn't be too difficult to cut through but you can't guard against everything in life!

Take it with you. Most parked bikes around here are left without the seat and seat post on which also discourages ride away theft. Method requires a backpack however.
