I claim: 1. A strap lock, comprising: a flexible strap; and a lock device comprising first and second relatively movable members capable of holding said strap therebetween; wherein said strap comprises a stainless steel chain composed of a plurality of link bars and wire loops connected with said link bars; wherein said wire loops have opposite ends permanently fixed to respective ends of respective said link bars. 2. The strap lock of claim 1, wherein said wire loops extend around link bars other than the respective said link bars to which said wire loops are fixed. 3. The strap lock of claim 1, wherein said link bars each have one of said wire loops extending from an end of one of said link bars, looping around adjacent ones of said link bars, and connecting to an opposite end of the one of said link bars. 4. The strap lock of claim 3, wherein a herringbone pattern is formed in said stainless steel chain by said wire loops connected to adjacent said link bars looping in oppositely angled directions. 5. The strap lock of claim 1, wherein said wire loops form upper and lower surfaces of said chain and said link bars are located between said upper and lower surfaces of said chain. 6. A strap lock, comprising: a flexible strap; and a lock device comprising first and second relatively movable members capable of holding said strap therebetween; wherein said strap comprises stainless steel; and further comprising a covering on said stainless steel strap, wherein said covering comprises an elongate tube of woven material that is stretched over said stainless steel strap. 7. The strap lock of claim 6, wherein said elongate tube of woven material has a property of being stretchable in a transverse direction of said tube while maintaining the length of said tube in a longitudinal direction perpendicular to the transverse direction. 8. The strap lock of claim 6, wherein said tube is unidirectionally elastic. 9. A strap lock, comprising: a strap; and a lock body for holding said strap, said lock body comprising: a first lock body member, a second lock body member pivoted to said first lock body member at a pivot point at a first side of said first lock body member and said second lock body member so as to be relatively movable between open and closed positions, and a lock for locking said first lock body member and second lock body member in said closed position; wherein said first lock body member and said second lock body member comprise strap engagement portions thereon operable to clamp said strap therebetween in said closed position; wherein said first lock body member and said second lock body member comprise respective member engagement portions at a second side of said first lock body member and said second lock body member for securing said first lock body member to said second lock body member in said closed position, said respective member engagement portions being longitudinally spaced from said pivot point; and wherein said strap engagement portions are longitudinally spaced from and positioned, between said member engagement portions and said pivot point at which said second lock body member is pivoted to said first lock body member. 10. A strap lock, comprising: a strap; and a lock body for holding said strap, said lock body comprising: a first lock body member, a second lock body member pivoted to said first lock body member at a first side of said first lock body member and said second lock body member so as to be relatively movable between open and closed positions, and a lock for locking said first lock body member and second lock body member in said closed position; wherein said first lock body member and said second lock body member comprise strap engagement portions thereon operable to clamp said strap therebetween in said closed position; wherein said first lock body member and said second lock body member comprise respective member engagement portions at a second side of said first lock body member and said second lock body member for securing said first lock body member to said second lock body member in said closed position; wherein said member engagement portions comprise laterally spaced projections on one of said first lock body member and said second lock body member and corresponding laterally spaced recesses for receiving said projections on the other of said first lock body member and said second lock body member; and wherein said first lock body member and said second lock body member are longitudinally movable relative to each other upon pivoting to said closed position to engage said projections in said recesses. 11. A strap lock, comprising: a strap; and a lock body for holding said strap, said lock body comprising: a first lock body member, a second lock body member pivoted to said first lock body member at a first side of said first lock body member and said second lock body member so as to be relatively movable between open and closed positions, and a lock for locking said first lock body member and second lock body member in said closed position; wherein said first lock body member and said second lock body member comprise strap engagement portions thereon operable to clamp said strap therebetween in said closed position; wherein said first lock body member and said second lock body member comprise respective member engagement portions at a second side of said first lock body member and said second lock body member for securing said first lock body member to said second lock body member in said closed position; and wherein: said at least one projection comprises two projections on said second lock body member; said at least one recess comprises two recesses on said first lock body member positioned to receive said two projections; said first lock body member comprises a first strap receiving portion including one of said strap engagement portions, said one of said strap engagement portions including a first roughened surface for engaging said strap; said second lock body member comprises a second strap receiving portion including a second of said strap engagement portions, said second of said strap engagement portions including a second roughened surface for engaging said strap; and said two projections and said two recesses are positioned such that, when said first lock body member and said second lock body member are in said closed position with said strap extending between said first and second of said strap engagement portions, said strap extends between said two-projections and between said two recesses. 12. The strap lock of claim 10, wherein: said strap engagement portions are provided such that, when said strap is held thereby, said strap extends between said first lock body member and said second lock body member in a direction of extent; a pivot slot is provided on one of said first lock body member and said second lock body member, said pivot slot extending at an angle inclined with respect to the direction of extent of said strap; a pivot pin is provided on the other of said first lock body member and said second lock body member and is received in said pivot slot; said recesses extend at the angle inclined with respect to the direction of extent of said strap such that when said first lock body member and said second lock body member move to said closed position by relative pivoting, said pivot pin slides in said slot as said projections are received by said recesses and moves into said recesses.
