what the fuck?? I do apologise coming off quite rude, but fucking hell you paid less than £20 for two lock to protect your £500 bike.
It going to happen if you did that, those lock are easy to cut with domestic tools, you should've invested in a much better lock, usually cost a lots more, but you're paying for security;
if you think £30 is a lots of money for a lock, that's nothing compared to the cost of the bike itself, next time mate, go for an Abus or Kryponite lock (recommendation are the Kryponite Evolution Mini, NYC Fahgettiabout, and Abus Granit).
None of this would've happen had you not chosen to buy those cheap lock, they're only useful in other country such as France to just stop the bike from getting borrowed by a drunk bloke who think it would be fun to ride a bike when under the influence, but in London with cycling on the rise, theft and criminal are looking for an profitable way to steal and sell bike.
