My bike was locked up by security for parking in the wrong place
etc..... I was lucky and the dork didn't snap the padlock closed so I
just undid the chain and sped off. Question: is there a small hand
saw/chain link cutting tool I can carry in my trailer(not for thick
chains, this was a wimpy little chain he used) that I can buy and carry
in case some dummy tries this again?

This guy is asking how to cut bike locks! I would hope nobody gives him
any ideas. -

Have you considered the idea of parking where you won't have to worry
about this issue?That said, consider yourself lucky that the chain was wimpy the first
time. If you carry a cutter that's capable of snipping the wimpy
chain, it may work *once*. I can just about guarantee that the
second time, you'll be up against a thicker, tougher chain...and
there's likely to be surveillance watching to see who's the perp
that's been destroying their chains.This is just about certain to be an escalating conflict. The only way
to win is not to play.--

A better solution might be to not park were you shouldn't, and that way
security will not chain up your 'bike--

Bill48" boltcutters work well on most chains but if your trailer is big
enough you may want to consider a good quality 16v chopsaw with a
metalcutting blade. Of course, *next* time those killjoys might lock
your bike- trailer and all- inside of a building so you should probably
invest in a good set of lockpicks and the training to use them. There
could be video surveillance of the building so be sure your lockpicking
class includes a section on disabling video surveillance cameras.
Alternatively, you could just lock your bike where you can do so
legally.Regards,
