  Incorrect.

  It used to be a fully locked metal pole gate, but someone a few years ago unscrewed and removed the hefty hinges.

  So now under new management, this is the bullshit they installed to replace the reinforced gate, rather than replacing the original gate hinges.

  Any 8 year old or above with a flathead screwdriver can take that new chain shit down…

    Also, is that chain plastic?

      Oh no, it’s a metal chain, apparently covered in powder coat yellow.

      I ain’t gonna mess with it, but it won’t surprise me a bit if other neighbors eventually fuck with it.

      Some chains have metal underneath the plastic shield so it looks nicer longer and can be various colors.

    To be honest, it might be faster picking that shit lock than running that hose clamp out with a screwdriver.

    I was thinking it was that yellow plastic chain that used to be everywhere
