Good stuff.

Needs to add another persona though: Smashing Sam who will knock you off your expensive bike in order to steal it: https://road.cc/content/news/e-bike-stolen-after-rider-ramme...

Having had to cut through my own U lock with a portable angle grinder I can verify that it is not too difficult. The cables are only for the snatch-and-grab prevention.

Only minor nitpick is that Campagnolo make wheels and groupsets, not bicycles themselves.

Skeptical that this is a widespread type of attack. Also, probably much easier and lower risk of someone taking down your plates to just threaten you with a knife/taser/lead pipe after you've unlocked your bike and then ride off.
