Should I Get A New Manual Bike & Upgrades Or Foldable E-Bike & Upgrades

Per my last post, I'm considering one of the 2 options above due to the theft incident earlier today. For the latter option, I'll make sure the e-bike has a cargo rack built-in and from now on I'll just use a larger delivery bag for storing stuff instead of 2 baskets. As for the locks, I'm only going to get those U style ones that are very durable and secure, as PIN and standard bike locks won't really deter bike theives that much. I'm also gonna ask stores and the local mall if they're fine with me bringing in the e-bike, so long as I don't ride it inside and have it folded up.
