Wheel Locks
Recently I had one of my tires replaced, after I had left the shop I suddenly realized I never gave them the key to the lug nut lock (OEM BMW)!?

This is worrisome, as I now know anyone can put my 35i on bricks and take the 214's.............

If (IF!!) I was into stealing wheels for living, I'd scout every target and if it has wheel locks, I'd take an impression with kids dough and make a socket for it. A pipe wrench also is a good tool...

Did they scratch the wheel locks? I did the same thing on one of my cars and they used vice grips or something to get them off. Scratched the hell out of them.
