I like that idea.

Unfortunately it doesn't prevent them using them online as well. At least for my cards, if I lock out the PIN I can still use them for non-PIN purchases.

Ah, in the UK it is standard for the machine to keep your card after three incorrect pin attempts. (at least I think it's the standard?)

I'm in the UK as well. I was actually thinking of Chip & PIN transactions, but you may be right about cash points.
