They use portable Angle grinders

  Is there any bike lock that will stand up to a battery-powered angle grinder?

    If there is, the thing your bike is locked to wont.

    No,abrasives always win. It may remove a bit of the cutting disc, but the embedded silicon carbide ceramic is harder than anything else (except diamond and some exotic carbides, and it will still eventually win against those). It will trade a little unimportant mass off the perimeter of the cutting wheel for a very important bit of mass off the lock, and eventually the lock will lose. Time is the only thing you can hope to achieve, you can buy a bit of that by wrapping the steel in a jacket of tough, gummy aluminum or PVC thicker than the radius of the cutting disc forcing the thief to clog the disc while they cut out a chunk large enough to get the tool sufficiently deep into the lock to cut the important bits: https://altorlocks.com/products/saf-lock https://altorlocks.com/products/saf-lock ...but it's merely a delaying tactic, not a cure.

      That bike lock... looks like a caricature of a bike lock. Is it actually serious? (Also, in one of the photos (the Trek ebike) it appears to not actually be locking the bike; I think it would struggle to fit?)
