heck, they're gonna have to hacksaw through two separate pieces of railing if they want MY bike.
At the shop, we got a Specialized Sirrus of some sort that has its rear rim nearly broken in half in two separate places, and this happened while it was
inside its shipping crate. I have no doubt that I could easily finish the job with my bare hands and an ordinary scissors, since the tires are Kevlar-beaded ones. IMHO this illustrates the fragility of an aluminum wheel rim, especially when it's the weak link in one's lockup scheme. I'll try to snag a photo of it tomorrow.
