This is not such an odd solution.
Locks are really easy to break with a screw driver and a hammer which
almost everyone has and is easy to carry, but most people aren't going
to have or carry a torch or a cutting wheel.
After 9/11 a large portion of the man holes in NYC were welded shut to
prevent them from being used to hide explosives.
