- One cheap little thin cable one like skiers use. This is only intended to slow someone down while I am in a store for a few minutes. But it makes me a lot more comfortable to use when I am in a fast food store or using a rest room.
I also was about the same distance away, but by chance the direction he chose to leave, brought him closer to me ( I was very lucky and that is the reason for my post ) Things happened so quickly, I want to slow the process a little. I'm almost convinced that I will start using a small cable lock, either with a key or combination. BTW I'm sorry to hear of your lose. I can understand how that would stay with you for a long time.
