Anywho, if you have an electric drill, and a bottle of "canned air" that you use to clean a computer with.. You can get it off.

By the "cheap" cutting disk and attachement at home depot/lowes/ets that you can put on your drill. Set your drill to HIGH speed (as high as it goes). Turn air can upside down, spray on lock, and begin to cut. Wear saftey googles.

This works on hardned steel locks like master locks: and not the housing, but the actualy cylendar.
Yeah, it should work, though it can be tough. My landlord cleaned out the basement a while back and there were several abandoned bikes. I put up a sign asking if they belonged to anyone, waited a week and change and went to work. Everything by the Kryptonites was easy. Those I tried a tire jack, a drill, the works on. In the end it took mucho elbow grease, lots of hard sweat, and a hacksaw w/a carbide blade (rod saw). I feel good about saving the stuff from a landfill, but it ain't an experience I'll be repeating anytime soon.
