Sounds like my staff back in the '80s just before I took over the group. The computer section had magnetic swipe cards. The techs found a way to read them and make their own. They made up a number of cards so they used them to swipe for entry.

Management was bamboozled by people departing before they had left, by exiting doors they had never entered, etc.

If you don't have big enough bolt cutters, go to your local fire brigade. Ask them to use their jaws of life.

My sister once called the fireys to cut a bike chain (she works for a tour group). The fireys had a ball, got photos taken with all the tourists.

have you solved your problem yet?

Those big bolt cutters aren't all that expensive these days from places like Bunnings and I've even seem them in Super Cheap ( not sure of quaility however ) they do come in handy at times.

Buy some Stirling and then you can loan them to your buddies.

I have a smaller set about 700mm long but they won't cut your padlock.

I got a bigass set off bolt cutters

Plan A
1. Discharge 6 shots in general direction of the bad guy.
2. Having established that perhaps you should have done more range practice, and have missed by a significant margin, go to Plan B.

Plan B.
1. Notice how a revolver, when swung by the barrel, shows similarities to a hammer.
2. Attack bad guy, striking out with hammer-like object.
3. The bad guy, having established you are insane, decides he'd rather not p*** you off, and surrenders.

My take on Plan B3 is

The bad guy doesnt count HIS bullets

Haha, thanks Ron loved it!

How lame, an offset from the card number... I'd have loved to work with the older generation computers.

Maybe not with our hard "disk" - actually a drum - a Fastrand Drum, all 100Mb of it. See The fastrand drum

100mb? Maybe you would have been better off using a USB stick or something.
