Actually you could do the same thing but instead of a bolt welded through, just
use a padlock.

That's used on all Kalifornia State Park gates here, I think they
modified their combination locks to fit inside a pipe after a friend
shot it off with his 357. We were caught and had to go to court, but
paid off a judge and it was dismissed and didn't have to appear.

This type normally used a padlock, they get rusty. It's easier, cheaper,
to use the bolt.

The 357 seems to be a combination that works on nearly any lock

Neither a .357 nor the bolt cutter works on the bolt through the collar
with a welded nut. You have to torch or grind the whole head off.

What, they have a law that only criminals have torches in your
country?
