No, bolt cutters are not the tool of idiot thieves. Here in the UK, and in cities mainly, some thieves travel around with vans to quickly throw a bike (or more than one) into. These are the real pros. They look to steal several valuable bikes. The amateur thief looks to ride away on one bike. Those with a van, use a bolt cutter. I'm not sure of how crime is done where you come from, but in the UK, a bolt cutter is definitely the tool of a professional

That is the reason why U-Lock with combination mechanism should be called a "Trash U-Lock."
In reality big bolt cuters are also wheapon of idiot-thives, because it is not wise to carry a very big and heavy chunk of steel.
Every U-Lock can be cut with angle grinder so what, if we go in that direction then the best U-Lock is completely useless.I have no fear of these situations, realistically bicycle owners they need to be fear of idiot-thives=bike is not stolen but it is severely beaten and seriously damaged.;)
