Don't go overboard & don't waste a fistful of money. For your use a length of bicycle cable should be good enough. The best you can do is keep honest people honest. If a 'real' thief wants it, he'll find a way to take it. I've got a cordless cutoff tool that would sever a chain with 1" hardened links in less than a minute. Real thieves have the tools they need for their trade.
Agreed, if a thief is looking to steal generators, he will pick the unlocked ones first and skip yours despite the weight of a chain. If it's the only one around, they'll steal it no matter what chain you put on it if they have the right tools. A chain is a deterrent, nothing more.
