Warning: Check your bike lock before you leave - I learned the hard way

I just found out from a mechanic at my local shop in Portland that most cable locks can be cut in under 30 seconds with cheap bolt cutters from any hardware store. I always thought mine was safe, but after seeing a video he showed me of someone doing it in 15 seconds, I switched to a U-lock that same day. Has anyone else had a lock fail on them like this?

It can be cut in 15 seconds." That's crazy. I switched to a U-lock too after seeing a video, no joke.
