That BLOWS!
You might consider something like this for your replacement set. My wheels have 20 Gorilla locks - and "NO" they will never find a key inside the car. Find another place to hide the key other than the obvious places or add it to your keychain. ANY Corvette thief will know to look in the rear cargo area as that is the factory location for the key as well. They still may vandalize the car - nothing can stop that, but at least they will "probably" not get your wheels!

that blows, but how long did it take for the LEOs to show up, they probably would have seen the thieves, good luck on your new set of tires, they do that here also, theses thieves are quick

YOu get a socket that is about the right size and hammer it onto the lugs. You have to have 4 sockets and a few more minutes, but it can be done. I only konw because I didn't have my lock when i had my tires put on and that what the shop did.
