Tin snips is a poor choice for cutting braided security wire. These are for cutting soft to mild sheet metals, but youre going to struggle with anything tougher than banding steel.
Youd want either the wire cutters above or small bolt cutters for security wire like OP
Iirc these things are “locked” by magnetic elements so just run a strong magnet around the gray part and listen for anything moving around. Might need multiple magnets at once
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.
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.
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
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.
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.

And if those don't work
Apparently this is the correct tool for cutting braided wire rope.
This is the correct answer.
Anyone who repairs bicycles will have one for trimming brake and gear cables.
Haven't had a bike in years and years, still have the tool.

Trying to cut those wires with that tool will fuck up your tool.
Source: tried it.
Seems like you could open the package and just use it from within the net
Nice conversation starter too
Your purse is stupid!
There, I said it.

Pretty sure a regular pair of scissors would take care of those awful bracelets. Hth
I think you replied to the wrong person.
You're absolutely right, thank you so much!
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.
Is it smart to post all the bar codes and numbers online if this item has been stolen?
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.

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

There is a joke about fishnets but I'm having trouble getting it around my head.
Disassemble it, take the parts out and reassemble it. Be sure to blow bits of dust and hair off the platter before reassembly.
Bolt cutters
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?
Use the middle one to chomp.the cable and free the others
Overkill. Any multi-tool or pocket-sized wire cutters will make fast work of this.
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?
Keep it as decoration, you can use it without taking it out... you got yourself an extra faraday cage layer
Grinder or snips on the cables or just crush the top plastic part with either a hammer or your vehicle tires.
Get a job

Have you tried paying for it?
In this economy?!
