I used to carry a 5/8" case hardened chain with a padlock to match (the 
combination weighed almost as much as my bike) until I locked my bike to
a lamppost on a major walkway at De Anza college in Cupertino (Silicon Valley)
one evening, and went inside for an exercise class.  When I came out I found 
that someone had wanted my hubs (Campagnolo) and had cut all my spokes on both 
wheels to take them.  He/she/it had also taken my platform pedals and my rear 
derailleur by the time someone apparently appeared and frightened him/her/it 
away.  The chain was locked through the frame and both wheels, and did no good
at all.

I now carry a simple cable and padlock.  I also don't live in California
anymore (thought that was not the primary reason).
