I enjoyed that video thanks! Good point that the safest option is finding a place that is locked up. yes all theft is possible on chain or cable, whether it be with a battery powered grinder or 4 ft cutters and a beef cake sitting on them.
If its planned then it will happen and you cant do anything about it except put your bike in a shed. All you can do is stop the impulse or unprepared thieves, not those who walk around with battery powered grinders or 4ft cutters of course. Im certainly not doubting the number of people using battery grinders on locks. If I was in the business of nicking things that would be the first tool i'd buy.
In my opinion i prefer the chain as its uncuttable with cutters that can fit in a thief's back pack as well as resistant to a hacksaw (for a while). but then again so are some cables depending on quality. Also a good point so spend more time worrying about the sights your going to see and not bike theft, i got my lock and key packed and I wont be thinking about it anymore!
