What? Why would he have to turn it upside down to cut that little lock?
I don't see how this would be quicker/easier than using a u-lock and freelocking through the frame/wheel. Just using a cable lock to attach it to something immovable is better than this. (well, that's all I do, but that is based on this town, and my POS bike)
edit: Maybe something that locked the crank to the frame - but then you still have the possibility of the wheels being swiped.
