That's true, but I would think it much less likely that someone would have available a lock AND cable. AND, it would take much more time to attach another cable vs just adding another lock. Yeah, it's still a risk, but I think the risk is much lower. But in any event, I don't know anything (other than never letting your bike out of your sight) that would prevent someone from putting on another cable.
