The thing is, cutting through the bottom tube doesn't release the pedals. The bike is immobile while it's in the locked position. It would take quite a lot of effort I imagine to get it mobile again... I'd wager more effort that the average bike-thief is willing to go to.

I agree that it's a little feature sparse. Some extra gears and decent brakes would definitely be a welcome addition.
