All of these things were chained and padlocked. Someone sure must have slept well, not sure I could sleep through the noise of someone cutting a cable :@
Some padlocks can be popped open quite easily with almost no noise. Even some supposedly more secure ones can be bypassed. Bolt cutters make a bit of noise, but in a more populated area like Q, it may not be noticeable. YouTube has a lot of stuff on this.
When I chain something down, I use something like a Kryptonite KryptoLok, an Evolution 4, a NY Legend chain, or a security chain and an Abus padlock. All of these are key retaining, so the key has to be turned to pull back anything locking, all have decent pick resistance, and all have a good reputation when being smashed apart on YouTube. Of course, nothing is 100% secure, but that is why I have insurance.
