The OP thought the same thing. He had lock lugs all around.

probably the OEM locks though, not the aftermarket ones. those are harder to come by though the "pro" thieves probably have them too. just like a locked door on your house, the lock only keeps honest people honest.

Locking lugs don't stop real thieves from getting the wheels, and they make things hard enough for the punk thieves (wanna-be's), that they make a total mess of your wheels and leave in frustration. Both situations suck.

Dont waste your $$$$ on wheel locks. I have had wheel locks a number of times and my wheels STILL get stolen. Prepping your insurance company is the best thing that you can do IMO
