Word choice?

This is the sentence:

She will move past you and tug at the lock a lot harder than you have.

Is it "than you have" or "than you did"?

Anonymous Word choice? The meaning of the sentence is murky, but use 'have' if 'your' tugging is recent and 'did' if 'your tugging' is not so recent.
