But a slashed tyre would hold up gumtree ad posting!
You only need 1 or 2 allen keys to get a brake set off - wouldnt take more than a minute.
I'm not saying this is what happened - maybe the person did desperately want that particular brake, but it can be the case that by disabling a bike in some way, a thief can come back later with the appropriate tools to get the whole thing.
