with battery powered angle grinders these days being very affordable, I reckon your best lock is one of these fabric type sheath ones. also effective against a big bolt cutter

 

the weakest point becomes the lock itself and not the chain, you can put the lock bit in a harder to reach area for extra caution.

I went to boarding school. We each had a trunk we could lock with a padlock - it's where most guys kept their stash of sweets they brought from home. I also learned very quickly to get one of those round locks you can't get a spanner into. Everyone learned that lesson in the first week of boarding school. 

same here... boarding school teaches all the tricks to get around a lock

Lockpicking Lawyer would pick that in less than a minute and he often criticizes Masterlock. You need the correct tools and experience though.
