Just about anything will get through those locks. An angle grinder will cut through in seconds, bolt cutters shouldn't have a problem, and if you can get the right angle/leverage, you could snap that black lock with a metal bar/scaffold pole. A hacksaw would probably work, but would take an eternity. The little red one will probably just require some colourful language.
Good luck (and don't worry about people hassling you, I've (legally) cut through locks in broad daylight on busy streets with sparks flying from an angle grinder and no one once questioned me).
