That's absolutely fucking retarded. Things come in infinity. Bad things and good things never stop happening. But retarded humans decide to recognize things in threes and tell stupid stories about it.

What would you do?

What is the outside temp Twista? If it's cold, I'd pee on it and then hit it w/ a hammer! :p

If it's that cold out you might loose part of it due to frostbite.

I had this situation, and my friend came by with a Dremel. Took 20-30 minutes.

A few weeks later, the keys turned up, naturally.

Now that i think about it. A hacksaw wont fit between the fence =[ The bolt cutters will be the best bet.

LOL 39F is 3.8C according to google. That's not even freezing temperature.

Now if it was -35 maybe the hot water trick would work but doubt it. Best bet is bolt cutters or disc cutter (maybe even just a dremel).

Or wrap it up in C4 and set a detonator.

Do stores like walmart and kmart sell bolt cutters in the store?

Cut Capacity: Soft to Medium-Hard

is that good enought to cut a lock? Or would i need some better bolt cutters.

Post a pic of the lock, or at least brand/model. No way for us to know without knowing the lock. Stop doing stupid shit and get bolt cutters. You'll thank me when you're not in the emergency room later tonight.
