Disagree with Sheldon??? Heresy!
Battery powered cutters have come a long way in the last few years. Sheldon hasn't had a chance to update his post.

No matter how you lock up your bike, it is vulnerable. Nothing is fool proof. Just make it less attractive than the bike next to you (and hope the bike thief doesn't have van for all the bikes).
