I could not figure out why they bothered to cut the cable, they should have been able to lift the bike and cable off of the parking meter, as the post was pretty short.
my guess is either to ride the bike (wheels couldnt turn with cable lock) or also that lock looks like the one on our car rack, a thule one, the end looks just like ours, maybe it was from the car rack we see in the photo and they took a bike or two.
