Agreed. Really, wheel locks are only good as a deterrent against thieves looking for a quick, easy opportunity. And a lot of the time, that's enough, because most thieves are lazy (which is why they don't bother working for a living like the rest of us). It's like putting locks on luggage. If someone wants in your bag, they're going to get in -- they can just slice it open with a knife or something. But for a thief looking to be (a) quick and (b) discrete, a lock will most likely make him move on to an easier target. My wife didn't believe in luggage locks, then she had to go on a business trip to Paris, and when she got home, she discovered that some sicko baggage handler at Charles Degaulle went and took all her soiled undergarments and pantyhose. Just the dirty ones.

Leave it to the French!
