Actually wheel locks are basically useless if someone wants your wheels. Just like a lock on a house, just keeps the honest folks out. You can get a tool that will take them off just as easy as removing a normal lug.

Yeah, my insurance is going to cover it. Its going to be pretty expensive after rental car, ordering the parts, etc. Blast.
