Default Are steel security cables choppable?

I can get a bigger padlock, but then they would probably go for the
chain/steel cable instead.

A cable (eg Master Lock 15mm braided steel cable) would be much easier
to use than a chain - but are they any good, or will a serious axe
(against a concrete floor) or hacksaw attack just chop through them?
Has anyone any experience?

Thanks

braided cables last less time than these chains aginst bolt cutters;

I have an Almax chain on my bike - prolly a good way to blunt an axe
blade

A strong chain just means that they go for the next weakest link

Get a PIR and a dozen sound bombs
