Nutted wheel security?

Do you suppose that using a nutted front wheel would be enough of a deterrent to theft? I mean, I suppose if a thief was looking to use tools to steal parts instead of a whole bike, he could go for my seat, seat post, bars, stem, crankset, etc.

My point is... would using nutted wheels be enough "security" that all I would need to do is run a U-lock through the frame to a post/rack/etc? Or should I go with a QR front wheel, and remove the wheel everytime I park?
