A Glock 17................Your Uncle Bob, Senior Geezer Curmudgeon
It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.
Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.

Exactley Uncle Bob, Wheel locks are to keep an honest man honest. Besides I've got wheel lock tools that will take em off as fast as you can with the key/puzzle, for the idiots that bring their vehicles in for wheel off work and forget they hid the key in the medicine cabinet. (Which seems to be 90% of the customers,the other 10% don't even know they have locks and have no idea where they key is)

Locks are a pain, as stated. If you think you have to have them look at Gorilla's as opposed to the puzzle locks. Much easier to use, but none are really worth the money.Roger
Enjoy the little things in life, and you may look back one day and realize that they were really the BIG things.

Like Jerry says, if they want the wheels & tires they'll simply steal the truck, take it somewhere quiet and take what they want, leaving the rest. Wheel locks are a waste of money.Roger

Somewhere in my hoard of useless treasures I believe I still have the McGuard's and key that my '86 Mustang GT had when delivered. They probably have a total of 250 miles on them before removal - if you want them, come on down to the Capital District. They can become yours for the price of a Dunkin Donuts coffee and coffee cake muffin (the #2 special @3.29)Dave W

I have heard long ago the locking lug nuts with the star like tool to remove them that thieves would drive a 5/16 socket on them and get them off. I have often wondered why the crook's didn't use their ingenuity in a positive way.
