    There’s a brand of ulock that is grinder resistant. Takes like 3 discs to finally get through.

      You can get hardened steel chains at hardware stores, ones where the links are 1cm thick. My ex bought one and said it took forever to cut a length off. Got a hardened steel lock to go with it. The thing has notches about 1mm deep from where someone tried to use bolt cutters on it. Grinder would eventually get through it, but it’ll make a lot of noise doing so. And some of the kids that use the bike stands here don’t even bother locking their bikes and yet they are still there (oddly enough in the same town that lock got its notches), so I think the security of having much easier targets will keep my bike safe.
