the best solution against theft is buying time not relying on whether or not the thief has a tool or not. a chain will only last 10 seconds. superglue + bb will last at least 20 minutes per bolt and most people have two or three bolts in their saddle setup.
Right, but thats why you have the chain going through a tube, so they cant directly get to the chainlinks. Also having it taught, makes it hardly/impossible to turn the tube to the exposed links.
Again, its only a deterrent.
