IMO, you are full of shit.
Post (or PM me) the name or screen name of the friend who had their seats stolen when using Seat Locks. I'm the only person who sells Seat Locks, so I pretty much know who has them. Also, how do you know what tool the thieves used?
The fact is that the GATOR GRIP DOES NOT WORK ON KODOKAN SEAT LOCKS. I know because I have a Gator Grip, and of course I have Seat Locks.
If you go to the Gator Grip website, it states clearly that it does not work on bolt heads that are completely round, which of course the Seat Locks are. The heads of the Seat Locks are also tapered, so there is nothing to grab onto anyway. The Seat Locks are also super hardened, so that it's very difficult to cut into them.
The pins on the Gator Grip DO NOT fit inside the pattern in the Seat Locks. You can try as much as you want, the Gator Grip won't grip Kodokan Seat Locks.
Here's a pic of my Gator Grip, a new Seat Lock, and a Seat Lock that I scraped all the finish off, trying to get a bite with the Gator Grip. No matter what I did, the Gator grip just spun around on the Seat Lock.

If your locks cannot be removed with such a tool, then I am sorry for the bad review. I mean no harm to you or your business. I just figured that if the locks look similar, then maybe the same removal method would apply
The same goes for most wheel locks. This tool pops them off, you may damage the tool in the process, but they probably stole the socket too!
Remember the first gen Kryptonite locks? Everyone thought they were inpenetrable because they used a custom round key that would be impossible to pick with standard lock picks and rakes, but then someone came along with a hollowed out bic pen and pops it open in seconds

No, he has a '92 Chevy Camaro and had some real nice Sparco seats in it held down with seat locks that look very close to the ones you are selling.If I recall, I think they were McGaurd or somthing. We know they used the smaller gator grip socket because they bent the pins to sh*t getting the locks out and forgot their socket, ratchet, screw driver and a coat hanger in the car when they made off with the seats.

I am the inventor of the Seat Locks. There are no other Seat Locks sold in the world at this time, and there haven't been any others in the past.
McGard is the largest manufacturer of security bolts in the world and they manufacture the Honda OEM Wheel Locks. McGard DOES NOT sell any Seat Locks, they manufacture Seat Locks for me exclusively. If you call McGard and ask about Seat Locks, they will give you my contact info.
Technically speaking, there are no "McGard Seat Locks" only "Kodokan Seat Locks."
Also, the S2000 has extremely small seat mounting bolts in the front. I haven't seen another car yet, that can use the S2000 Seat Locks (not even other Hondas).
My Seat Locks definitely were not on a Chevy Camero.
Also, Sparco Seats use aftermarket rails and an aftermarket seat base. Seat Locks would go on the seat base. Any one could unbolt the seat rails from the seat base, or unbolt the seat from the rails.

Thank you for the apology, however, I again have to say

Also as a side note. His Chevy Bel Air uses the studs from a VW for seat locks!
