If you have ever tried getting locks off, its NOT easy. And it takes TIME. No way someone would sit there for 2 hours trying to get the wheels off. If you had 2 or 3 sets on no one would try to steal that shit. ---

If you had 2 or 3 sets on no one would try to steal that shit. i dont know how its done but its possible. When I was younger I worked with some shady dudes who said that wheel locks don’t mean shit. I think they use some sort of freezing method and just break the studs right off(i think). ---

Biting into them is very difficult. ---

![http://www.matcotools.com/ProductImages/TS500.jpg](http://www.matcotools.com/ProductImages/TS500.jpg) That works, They usually take about 2-3 minutes to remove. I’d agree though that the locks would make the thief think twice about it. ---

Wheel locks don’t do anything. All you need to do is put a slightly larger socket on there, hit it with a hammer, and then continue to zip off the lugs. Most people wouldn’t have the sockets and know-how to do this, but any professional who is going to be doing something like this, would know how. That sucks, hope they turn up! –mark ---
