But there are actually 2 chains in there, which is how it gets its flat shape. So it's 2 cuts with the bolt cutters. And they're small enough chains that you either have to cut both sides of a link at the same time, needing more force, or else only cut one side of the link, moving the cutting point to the very edge of the blade, and again, needing more force.
This all adds to the time and difficulty of getting through it. And the best lock is deterrence.
