I've done it probably a total of 20 times for periods varying from 5 minutes to 3 hours. I always lock my bike up now because I'd rather be safe than sorry.
Sorry for bringing this up, this thread isn't a debate on if a lock is necessary or not.
To the OP, I think even a $15 bell U-lock would be better than something you make yourself. Also I was serious about the $30 krypto mini because I am in need of a better lock and I haven't seen them for below $45.
