Yep, I can see that happening with me a lot...

Cool. I just thought I ought to point out to people thinking about the idea that they need to be _sure_ it won't pull through. Some people, being normal right-thinking types, think: "No, they wouldn't pull that through as it'd damage the wiring". They can find out the hard way that thieves can be really uncaring in how they try to nick stuff - we've been on the painful end of that ourselves and it's no fun, even if nothing has been nicked.

Speed of locking/unlocking is surely an important part of usability.

Cheers,
