hopefully the sound of hammering would draw some attention, there's ways to get around anything, the purpose of locking lug nuts is to slow down or inconvenience people. Often they will move on to easier pickings etc.
Its not like locking lug nuts are expensive....I don't understand why people wouldn't have them on the car....
for $30 dollars you add a little extra protection. It may not be the ultimate protection, but if you don't have them you have even less protection, and are inviting just anyone to help themselves.....
there used to be a statistic that stated no car alarm ever prevented a car from being stolen......yet everyone has them on the car.
If you go by the theory of "why have them, they don't stop thieves from stealing your ****" why do you have any anti theft devices on your car at all? your just wasting your time and money....after all "a pro will still be able to take it"
