U-Locks can be cut in about a minute with an angle grinder, but angle grinders are louder and throw sparks which raises suspicion. Non-brazen thieves stick to the bolt cutters.
At the end of the day, the best security method is to keep the bike in your sight. Keep it in your house/apartment. If you leave it in a garage, keep it locked to something in the garage. When you do lock up outside, lock next to a bike that has worse locks than you. Thieves are lazy (granted, this doesn't apply if you're locking a top of the line, all carbon bike next to a rusted huffy. It's all effort and risk vs reward). Make sure the racks you lock to are secured. I've heard of thieves loading an entire bike rack into the back of a truck and driving off.

For future reference, bolt cutters have a hinge system that allows them to through thick metal quite easily. These 12-inch bolt cutters would snap through your padlock effortlessly. I've seen what you're wearing before and I'm sure of it.
