Cable locks only make you feel secure, thieves love them, that is the fastest and easiest lock to disable.    Takes minimal effort to cut a cable.

Not disagreeing at all, well, it may depend on the chain, and the cable, but chains can be pretty easy to cut too.  Anyway, I remember in the 70's a lot of people thought that cables were the ultimate in security.

Chains aren't really any better. A good set of bolt cutters will make short work of them.

Here's the solution that I came up with. Simple to do, and I already had a high-quality carbide shank lock that fits. Won't stop a professional thief but anyone stealing $35 propane tanks is in the low-budget arena.
