But it is very rare and there are FAR more threads from people who have lost their key asking how to get locks off. Do a search.
and those people are imbeciles. firstly for losing the key, and secondly for not being able to figure out how to get another one. there is nothing complicated about storing the key properly nor finding a replacement.

it was just a general image search to show some cars on blocks with their wheels stolen. search results show most popular and common photos multiple times from multiple sources, it's just how search results work. my only point was to show that YES, nice wheels get stolen, and some of the higher end wheel locks are actually complicated enough to be a good theft deterrent, but not a definitive solution.
