This lock is better than nothing (hey - everything is!) but it is suited for only to a very low threat environment. A convent, as long as the nuns were ancient.

This is a much better lock:

- See how the chain fills the hole in the lock so that there isn't room for a prybar?

Re the wheels, I prefer security skewers/locking skewers to a cable. I've never heard of a cable that can resist a $25 cable cutter, especially if the handles are lengthened with a couple of pieces of pipe. Put a locking skewer on the saddle too.
