Actually not so much.... Sadly a cable lock like that is about as secure as a twist tie..... thieves can cut most cable locks so fast no one will even notice. A determined thief can get through most any lock, given enough time and a disinterested public (there is a video on You-Tube of someone sawing through a u-lock on a crowded street with a power tool - he wore an orange safety vest like a city worker and was totally ignored), but most cable locks, especially one that thin, really only serve to keep honest folks honest. Your best bet for finding your bike still there when you get back if you must lock up in a public place is a short shank U-style lock
