I always heard that a small U lock[1] is always better than a larger one and I never understood why. Now i know, that modified carjack is something else.

Also just a crowbar can be used instead of that jack. Small ulocks do help. But they have their own problem: they increase the chance of you being unable to lock your bike at all. Sometimes your destination doesn't have great bike racks, and you have to make due with something a small ulock won't fit on.
