Decreasing the bikes future usefulness to a thief doesn’t matter to you right now because you still lost your bike. Even if the thief eventually just dumps it in a bush somewhere… you still lost your bike.

Bike theft prevention should involve multiple layers of security including but not limited to a good bike rack, quality lock(s), trackers, finding secured/monitored locations, an alarm, etc.
