See

for a demonstration of "cutting" the above material

I vote fake. The description says aluminum, the sparks say steel and the
grinder says soft. Not sure if the fake is intentional or accidental, but
the story so far does not add up.

Hope this doesn't offend too much,

In my capacity of regularly removing 'impenetrable' locks
with lost keys from bicycles, I scoff at the term 'cut proof'

Here's an example. There's a cute elegant little lock with
14mm tempered aluminum shackle and body, 'can't be cut with
disc grinder'. Yeah, so what? There are many methods for
many materials. If the thief with a battery disc grinder is
thwarted, the next guy will break it differently.

Oh, and the savages are just as likely to bash in your
wheels as steal your bike anyway...
