anyone tested this? or is it just "theory"?


As it was originally developed for locking up my bikeshed, then yes.

"developed" - but has it been *tested* ? if so what happened?


It might last a couple of minutes.
Its like all security.. if someone wants that item its a problem, if they
just want some items they will probably go elsewhere if its going to delay
them long enough for them to think they might be caught.
So having good chains, locks, etc. inside a building in a remote spot is not
going to stop anyone that wants the item.
It would make opportunist thieves look elsewhere (maybe).
