One thing I have wondered about generators -- you really only need to chain them up slightly more than your neighbor's generator.

Also, since they have that tube steel construction, and it is a virtual rolled loop, a hacksaw through the generator frame eliminates almost any protection a chain could give.

Luckily the wedding house received power -- I imagine it would have been poetic for cold showers before the wedding, but, alas, hot water will be flowing from the showerheads at that union.

For me, a little prepwork on a few things.

Home Depot was sold out of chain but I did find a 3/8 x 9 foot towing cable. Passing it through multiple parts of the generator so they would have to cut it up pretty badly and yeah my neighbor has a 7550 just chained to a planter. If you really want to steal a good one go up to my rich neighbor's house and there is a yet to be installed 25KW one sitting in his front yard. Just bring your own fork lift.
