Friendly reminder that if you only have enough lock to lock your frame and ONE wheel, make sure it’s the rear wheel! It is the most expensive of the two to replace.
That said, bike thieves should have their fingers broken.
I feel like drop out wheels were a bad idea. For the number of times you actually want to remove your front wheel I’m happy just having to undo a lug nut. Drop out wheels have made it too easy for bike thieves and they just unhook the wheel and run off before anyone notices what they’re doing.
A good compromise would be dropout wheels but they need unique key to unlock the wheel.

There are locking axles that replace the quick release axles, to do what you described. A couple companies I’ve heard of (but haven’t tested myself):
