If I understand right "with timeout" doesn't end and stop the block. Is there something that will do that?

Hi,

Seems to me that the following script should timeout and quit but it doesn't

try
with timeout of 2 seconds
tell application "Finder"
set x to 1
repeat while x < 5
delay 1
set x to x + 1
end repeat
end tell
end timeout
on error
log "repeat error"
end try
beep
