This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

The average Joe won't bother stealing your bike, but the pros will simply take a bolt cutter and remove your chain or lock.

A good bolt cutter is a small investment for people who do this for a living.

I don't forsee a 14 mm chain being cut by bolt cutters that would be reasonable to carry around. Especially considering the hardness of the steel it's made of. I just don't think it's worth the effort given the amount of people using cable and D locks that can be cut with handheld shears.
