That would cost more than buying the tools to cut it off.

If you call a locksmith, you'll be spending time waiting for him,
watching him open the lock, and then writing him a check. If you buy
the tool, you will pay less, probably save some of your valuable time,
and when you are done, you will still have the nice new tool for other
projects.

Check with the local police department or fire department. They have
bolt cutters.
