If you are going with this approach, why not just partially release the QR on the front wheel, or disconnect the brakes. If the thief tries to ride off with your wheels, they will faceplant and you can just find them by the blood trail.
Of course, this won't stop a thief with a truck, but might be effective vs. joe crackhead.
