This invokes an image of someone going through the trouble of cutting your bike and the bike rack in half just to steal the lock, which I find very amusing.
I usually park my good bike with my good, strong lock in very public places so an angle grinder would probably cause someone to call the police, lol. But even so, an angle grinder would have to put itself to work on my lock. I had to get that lock, otherwise an insurance claim would be invalid in case the bike was stolen. Or so the bike store sales woman told me. 😬
Isn’t that the point of the good bike lock? To prevent stealing even a good, new bike?
If it’s a good bike, then someone might put in the effort to steal it. If it’s crap, they are more likely to steal the lock.

They don’t make bike locks good enough to stop an angle grinder

This was my logic as well. Bike got taken off from the front of a busy shopping centre, and nobody had bothered to get involved.
My roommate got his bike stolen in front of a busy café. When he arrived people showed him where the thief went.
It took a good minute for the thief to break through the lock in front a busy cafe and no one bats an eye.
