GlennR is correct. The lock in question could easily be cut with a hacksaw, though it would take a few minutes.
A very large bolt cutter, operated by a relatively strong person, could snap it in a few seconds.
I'm not a bike thief, but I've had cause to do both with some very strong u-bolt locks like the one pictured.
