Is there a lesson in here for bicycle locking technology?

I'm thinking of one of these robots that hangs under the top tube of the bicycle and if the bike is stolen it jumps into action and strangles the thief, wrapping itself around his neck, constricting until his head pops off.

Lesson learned...

And then the thief's family drags you through court with a civil suit for the rest of your time on Earth.

Can you think of a way for the lock to take out the thief, leaving no evidence behind?

Is the little bugger strong enough to crush teeth leaving no dental records?  Or maybe just swallow him whole and then inch towards the Chicago river to swim to the bottom and hide for 100 years...

You know, I've thought it over and I'm pretty sure I don't support the death sentence for bicycle thievery.

I don't see it as a death sentence -more like a suicide.  It's like someone who sneaks into the lion cage at the zoo covered in steak sauce.
