Saw this sad sight this morning. Smh

Fishey

Pretty much every wheel lock can be overcome in a matter of seconds.

Let me run through them and how you defeat them.

First up.

Defeat with products similar to this..


Most you need to do is find the right size hit with a hammer and put the impact on them. Literally take about 20seconds a wheel to remove. To get the previous lug out of the remover socket you put on ground hit with hammer the locking nut will just fall out.



You can also use the above removers on this style in the same fashion in about the same amount of time. However, if they are less then 19mm you can use


Literally as easy as removing a normal wheel nut.



Again you can use gator grip or outside remover.



This type can be harder to defeat but usually you can go around the outside with a remover or sometimes a inner remover will work depending on stud length.



Locking style like this


You simply drill out the cylinder it doesn't take but a few seconds and you got access to the 6 point under them quite quickly.

The hardest to defeat wheel lock is this one.


They are off of older Porsches but the base is larger then 19mm so a gator grip will not work and you cant use an outside extractor because they machined down the top cover. So if you try to use an out side extractor they simply break off. You have to find a large and deep enough socket to get to the base to remove them and its quite difficult.

I am not a thief or anything but I do own a shop and have to remove wheel locks all the time when people forget where they put the key/special socket. It makes me angry every time I have to remove them and usually owners are shocked by the 10-20 seconds it takes me to take them off. The porsche ones suck! but I have a master key set (collected them over the years) and so I have the proper tool even if the owner as lost them.
