I think a 'racing bike' geometry position would be more of a challenge than simply being fixed. If some thief jumped on a bike with risers and that (street/trick setup) Im sure they could ride away happily.
But a bike with really high saddle, really low drop bars, fiddly road strap pedals or even worse, clipless aswell as tight racey geometry and drop brake levers would probably all freak a thief out just as much if not more.
The most challenging thing probably being a brakeless track bike with deep drops and clipless pedals.
But of course, unless there is someone chasing they do not have to ride off particularly fast.
