i was locked with the thickest chain they have at home depot (the one that they cut with the hydraulic cutter because "bolt cutters can't cut it"... psh) and one of those donut-shaped master locks. they cut through the chain, not the lock.
it's one of those things where i know i should have had a kryptonite chain, but i never bothered because what i had was working. i guess it works until it doesn't.
