Really sorry to hear about this Hobo. This is the third beautiful bike you've had stolen in a year. And you used the most secure lock there is! The previous guesses, that an angle grinder might have been the device used, sounds the most possible.
I was thinking though, was this in a public place, because the noise of an angle grinder going through a Fagh Mini, would create an enormous racket. Also, did they lift the bike and walk away with it, because I only wonder if they cut the chain (easier), then took the bike away, to work on the Fagh Mini later? If the bike was seen being wheeled away, it meant they cut the Fagh Mini and then took it away. It doesn't make alot of sense taking away broken pieces of lock though.....unless the thieves fingerprints are already on a police database...
Your Abus chain, which was it, if you don't mind me asking? If it was the Abus Granit Extreme Chain 37, then those guys were properly tooled up. As that is ABUS' best chain, and meant for motorbikes. Maybe not in the same league as ALMAX, but it would've taken a whole lot of effort to get through that one...
I hope this turns up quickly, and that you get it back.
