i see what you're saying, but you only need to remove 1 bolt to steal a saddle/ seatpost combo.
that is correct.
I use all the bolts.
sometimes the superglue + bb might be more difficult to remove in one than the others, so it's best to use them all. so, if the thief has trouble with the main seatpost clamp bolt, he would have to move onto the other bolt (or two). and if he's lucky to be able to remove the full saddle setup with one bolt, that's still 20-30 minutes of really frustrating work. most u-locks and chains can be snapped with a leverage bar or car jack or cut in less amount of time.
