This may be overkill when you can cut the locks, but FWIW:

I have never tried on a disc lock, but I recently cut apart a Krypto
U-Lock with a cutoff wheel on a 4 1/2" angle grinder. It took about 6
seconds. Keeping the lock from chattering around was the only real trick.
Dont' know how that'll transfer to the disc locks, if what I'm picturing
is correct - alot of body and relatively little shackle?
