They don't neccesarilly have to cut a lock. Lots of people I know have been pulled from their bikes in underpasses etc. Common practice for group of kids in Bristol to surround bike and grab sadle to stop you. Had it happen to me once. They stopped me for a few seconds to ask me if I "wanted to swap my bike" for another one they had with them (wonder where they got that and why they wanted rid of it?) and then I managed to make a break for it.
More the type of scenario I was thinking of as you'd be more likely to witness it than a cutting lock theft.
