Steve, The Kryptonite or Chain for that matter are not perfect solutions. There are none regarding security. But there are methods that will slow down or totally deter a thief. I know of a way, or at least think I do 8-), on how to defeat the Kryptonite cables but I ain't telling. Did you have the THICK cables or the thin ones? If the cable will fit into the jaws of the bolt cutters that are available in the same store with the locks it ain't good enough. Regarding chains. Well there are chains and then there are chains. There is cheap chain that you can cut real easy and there is Grade 70 Transport chain. Bigger chain does not mean its stronger by the way. I have some "small" Grade 70 chain that is much stronger than some "larger" chain. I can't remember the size of the chain but its around 1/2 inch Grade 70 chain that I bought to use to secure a gate. It took the store owner a good 10 minutes to cut the chain off the spool. It was not easy with the tools in the store.... There is chain and then there is CHAIN! 8-) On the other hand who wants 50 pounds of chain securing their yak to the vehicle? I know I don't want to! 8-) I still think the large Kryptonite cables are the best solution that I have seen or heard. None are perfect.... Sorry to hear about your kayak being stolen.
