So I saw a news piece that called out a high amount of wheel/tire theft in San Diego and surrounding area. It sounds as if light model forerunner, and Tacoma’s are getting hit.

With this,I haven’t ever heard of a set of locking lug nuts that aren’t able to be removed.

Thoughts on this? Any better locking lug nuts other than the standard McGard options?
