If it indeed is the ultralight chip, there seems no encryption: 
"The disposable passes are cheaper Mifare Ultralight cards that do not employ 
any encryption or keys, and can be read by anyone." (wikipedia as well: 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OV-chipkaart#Technology)

Bad luck! Would spoofing be doable? I got my wallet full of cards for "all 
kinds" of things, that is, entrance to the office and subscription for the 
library. I guess these are linked to the chip ID (although I know of libraries 
that don't use the ID of their labels, if I understood them correctly! I asked 
a few times, under different angles of question-attack, but got the same answer 
each time. Unbelievable...). 

Does this kind of antenna need to have right-angled corners, as in the photo? 
Or is that shape easier sculpted in the PCB? 

Thanks for the experiment!
