It sucks all those wheels got boosted the other day! What is your opinion on using a cable to lock them up?

I am curious as to your take on cables to lock wheels. More specifically whether you use a thick or a thin cable. In my case I own one of each but I always wonder if the extra weight and bulkiness of the thick OnGuard cable is worth it. I mean, if a thief has a cutter, its only going to take a couple additional snips to defeat the thicker cable compared to the thin and light one.

It will only buy me an extra 3 seconds of "security", so is it worth the extra bulk and weight and pain of coiling it back up?

My greatest issue when talking about locking techniques is that there is one incredibly vital bit of info that is never discussed. Using two crappy u-locks Vs two New York U-locks is drastically different. All a cable does is slow someone down and require them to have more tools. It's all about slowing them down. I believe no lock is impenetrable but some are easier to defeat than others no matter how you use them.
