I thought the same, I tried a thick handcuff about the size of a pinlock (masterlock street cuff). All a thief has to do is let the air out of the tires and that lets the lock twist enough to get it out of the rear triangle......
But then again it is not a theft prevention item, it's to stop the guy from casually jumping on it and riding away. If he tries he'll break some spokes and then will screw you up just as much if you're far from home.
