As a framebuilder, you'd be amazed how fast I can cut through a frame tube. I could replace the tube and have it ready for paint that afternoon. Just have to buy a new battery for my portable sawzall.
But on a serious note, I've always worried that Sheldon's technique would attract a stupid destructive kind of thief that would only figure out it isn't any easier to steal a bike locked with it after he had done a lot of damage.
