A hacksaw would melt through extruded aluminum in mere seconds once the tension is removed, I thought you knew enough about hacksaws to say I clearly don't know much about them.

I put forth my method to break it quickly yes, & it would be easy, just not to cut through the rim itself with b/c. The way I suggest is faster true, faster than large unwieldly b/c. Thanks! I thought up something Sheldon missed! Too bad it's only useful to thieves.

It's the combination of all the steps that is the deterrent, the time wasting of it all. Most thieves attack one, just one, point of defense.
