Can anyone recommend a set of theft proof wheel locks? Apparently, would be thieves have access to a master set and are ripping people off of there wheels.

Yep, tried Mcgard and they took the wheels off the car like the locks had a phillips head on them. In fact, they left the wheel locks in the drive way as a courtesy.

bottom line is they want it, they take it. locks will take them a bit longer, but nothing is theft proof

i had mcgard locks and lugs and i think they are some of the better ones out there

Reminds me of old Rodney Dangerfield jokes.

I tell ya, I live a tough neighborhood, yea a tough neighborhood. The other day they stole the hub caps off my car .............. while I was driving it.

When I moved in there I asked the cop how long it took to walk to the subway. He said "I don't know, nobody ever made it"!

I tell ya I don't get no respect ....... no respect at all.

I'm trying to buy McGard locks online and was wondering if the ones that Sewell is selling are McGards. Here is what I came across
