The wire is steel but the crimps are aluminium. You can heat the crimps with a cigarette lighter til they soften enough to pull the wire apart. A lighter flame is about 1200 degrees at the tip, aluminium melts at ~650 depending on the alloy
Get some heavy duty wire cutters, that would be the easiest method, but if you don’t have any you can just take a hammer to that plastic bit and obliterate it. Heck, even a hefty stone would work.
Modern problems require caveman solutions
Get a job
I lol’d
Pretty sure a regular pair of scissors would take care of those awful bracelets. Hth
The bar code identifies the specific type of product, not a n individual example within that type of product. It’s not a serial code.
I ran into this a lot when I worked for a pet food manufacturer. If there was an issue with a product, customers often assumed the UPC could identify when the product was made, where it was distributed, and even where it was purchased. It does not. Otherwise packaging would be incredibly inefficient to make because each bag of the same recipe and size would need its own unique UPC.
I think you replied to the wrong person.
Is it smart to post all the bar codes and numbers online if this item has been stolen?

That sticker has a serial number, not just a UPC
It’s valid if you try to check its warranty status on their website
My apologies, I didn’t see that.
It’s ok GiantChickDicks. We will let it slide this time
Bolt cutters would make quick work of those cables; but if you don’t already have some, you might see if you can get a couple of flat head screw drivers into the top of the notch where your fingers are in the picture. I’m guessing that’s part of where the plastic cage comes apart when it’s unlocked, so it could be a good leverage point if you wanted to try just forcing it open.
Uh. Any help?

Overkill. Any multi-tool or pocket-sized wire cutters will make fast work of this.
Disassemble it, take the parts out and reassemble it. Be sure to blow bits of dust and hair off the platter before reassembly.
Have you tried paying for it?
In this economy?!
Ah yes, diagonal cutters are much cheaper than an external hard drive
Cutters? Why are you going for the steel wire when there’s very easily smahsable plastic piece?
Grinder or snips on the cables or just crush the top plastic part with either a hammer or your vehicle tires.
Your purse is stupid!
There, I said it.
If we’re being very lazy with few tools, a pair of pliers will do it. Pinch the wire close to one of the joints and bent it back and forth a bunch of times. The wire cable will eventually snap. Do it for a few of them and it’ll open a big enough hole.
Or, uh, return it to the store where you found it or alert the local police so the local corporate retail site gets their, uh, property back. Yeah.
There’s also a joke about sexy fishnet stockings but I’m having trouble completing the joke.
There is a joke about fishnets but I’m having trouble getting it around my head.
Step 1: Cut a hole in the box…
Step 2: Put your dick in that box
Step 3: 16 stitches
Instructions unclear, dick stuck in ceiling fan.
That’s not why it’s called a hard drive.
Bolt cutters
Seems like you could open the package and just use it from within the net
Nice conversation starter too
