Even the biggest bolt cutters don't work. Do I need to saw it and
will that work?

Angle grinder with a cutting disk. I just used one to cut through a padlock
in less than 2 seconds. Boron alloy might be tougher; so it might take 4
seconds.

Should evaporate any standard padlock in a couple of seconds. Cutting
not required...

Look on the bottom of the lock. Are there any numbers? If so, a locksmith
can provide a key.
