And whoever put the lock on would have an even bigger laugh when they bill you for the damages.

Unless they can't prove you were the one who damaged it, or even that there was damage. "Well, shucks, officer, I just tried to drive away with it on and it just sort of fell off. Dunno what happened to it after that, not my problem. You should invest in better boots, or maybe train the guy who put it on better." (Bonus points if he's the one who put it on.) Meanwhile, you take the pieces with you, grind off any serial numbers, and drop them in the nearest large body of water whenever is convenient. Bob's your auntie.

"your property was no longer in my possession, and my car was no longer in your way. If you're saying I can bolt shit to your car if you park on my property and then sue you for damage when it flies off your car, I will keep this in mind when you come to serve me the summons."

you'll find that many people will decide you are not worth the effort to deal with.
