A bike lock that gases thieves

There has got to be a better way of dealing with thieves than gassing them.

The "Skunklock" is a U-shaped steel bicycle lock with a pressurised, stinking gas inside. The gas escapes in a cloud if someone attempts to cut the lock. The company claims its "noxious chemical" is so disgusting it "induces vomit in the majority of cases." Even better, it claims, the gas causes "shortness of breathing" and impaired eyesight.
