But to super glue or epoxy over the adjusting/ binding bolts sounds like as big of a hassle to the owner as it might be to anyone else. If they want the saddle what keeps them from just cutting off the seat post? Craftsman make a very nice battery powered saws all.
That's probably the safest bet, but definitely the most inconvenience, I really ride as a minimalist and carrying my seat everywhere isn't convenient at all. As for needing to adjust things, I feel once everything is positioned correct I really never touch the seat again and the few times that I might have to is worth the little extra deterrent from theft. And lastly, yeah they could carry a power saw or grinder but at that point they'd probably just cut my lock and take the whole bike.
