same rack, unless someone replaced the pieces of weather-worn sticker that were on the old one

for locks like these, and lacking melted concrete or blast damage to the surrounding area, the most "creative" ways to cut them would be a plasma torch, a thermal lance, or a gas/petrol powered grinder. any other creative methods that i know of (keyboard cleaner, ball-point pens, tennis balls, etc) just won't work on these locks.

oh, and i'm the only one with keys, and all of the keys are accounted for... so the locks weren't removed with a rubber-hose.
