Correct. But it is the matter of where you want to draw the line. No matter what you do to the ignition, I understand it can still be lifted up off the ground and put on to a pickup truck. That has never happened to me or anyone I know of that I am aware of.
It is unlikely to happen I would say and certainly not worth more inconvenience on the part that may be someday someone is going to try to steal it. If they wanted that bad the going to get it no matter what anyway.

The answer I believe is actually 5 factorial. Or maybe a possibility of 1 out of 9,999. <-- That would be a long time to sit there guessing.

Most bike thieves use vans...pull up...4 guys jump out and toss the bike in the van...ignition locks...rotor locks...fork locks are a waste of time...the only thing that will slow them down is having bike connected to an immovable object with something that is time consuming to cut...good insurance is the best defense.
