Bike registers?

[NotAGolf]

Is there much point in registering your bike to any kind of theft deterrence scheme such as Bike Register?

I’ve just got a new bike and was thinking of registering it on a scheme to try and prevent theft, or at least recover it if it is stolen. Any thoughts or suggestions on schemes?

They aren't for theft deterrence, its for recovery of stolen bikes and making it difficult for thieves to sell on your bike (log your frame number).

I consider them better than nothing at all.
