That wouldn't surprise me at all. I'm too lazy at the moment to check, since getting them back on is a bit of a hassle, but it would make sense considering how they work. It's just a little steel pin that drops into place.

Either way though, a thief is just as likely to know the magnet trick as they are the flat screwdriver trick. It's just about building in a few minutes of extra time.
