Unfortunately, there are other styles too that can be used to remove wheel locks. Wheel locks, at best, simply slow down the theft process a bit.

Oh, I know - I totally agree, too. I sometimes think they are a waste.

If they are torqued properly then you dont ever have to check them unless you remove a wheel, or see one loose. I personally like to check mine visually occassionally, and check the torque before long road trips.
