I have cable cutters that are made for brake and gear cables. I can go through a locking cable with these cutters in two or three quick snips. It's like going through paper with scissors. It is shockingly easy.
[MENTION=387813]B1KE[/MENTION], where do you live? Where I lived in NJ, a cable was sufficient. If we know about where you are, we can tell you whether a cable is advisable.
