Can you explain how? I don't have a lot of experience with bike theft, so it makes enough sense to me that the frame being locked would be enough to prevent the bike from going anywhere
I think that would work but it would be pretty frustrating to do with such a big/heavy bike.
Also I'm going to assume you meant they should lock the rear wheel to the frame but if the front was locked it could probably be stolen in the same manner and just leave the front wheel.
I don't bike and can't tell from the pic, but a lot of times the front wheel has a quick release so you can take it off. Then you run the chain through both wheels and the frame.

I'd take dozens of these over any shit-ass SUV

Looking at OP's post history, I'm not sure if they know Amurica isn't the correct spelling.

Me fail English? That's unpossible.

While I agree with you the apprehension to anything related to exercise and the big gulp really sets the mood.

Take off front wheel. Slide frame and fork thru slack chain lock.

The big gulp is also very stealable.
