Lock Mini

Why do many bike messengers use mini U locks?
I was wondering because I'd imagine with mini U locks you would not be able to lock your frame plus your front/back wheel?
Most messengers have gone to theft-resistant skewers or bolts for holding the wheels on the frame. The mini U-lock is preferred because it's light, small, and fits in a jeans pocket. In high-theft areas, many messengers wear a NY chain around their waist to ensure the bike doesn't walk away during a delivery. Also, messengers don't expect to be away from the bike for more than 3 minutes at a time, so anything they do to secure the bike doesn't need to withstand a full assault.
