Perhaps you missed this current thread, where the OP had an old GT taken on-campus, while he got a coffee. What was he locked with and locked to? A cable lock in a wheelbender rack:

The OP of this thread is also talking college campus, where apparently, "there are roving bands of bike thieves looking around, cable cutters in hand, just waiting for people to leave their bike for a second..." Around here too, not a week goes by when someone posts on CL that their bike was stolen on-campus.
