If they really want to take your rims locking lugs won't do much good unless they are amateurs and don't know what they are doing. You can buy a tool at Sears that removes locking lugs. I know this because I bought a Mustang in the past from a person who had locking lugs on the car but didn't have the key for them. I absolutely hated the wheels and couldn't get them off so I did some searching, found a tool and was able to remove them no problem.

Do locking nuts really work? I have them on my rims but not sure how much good they do. I figure if a criminal is out for rims then they might have something that will take locking lug nuts off.

Kinda what I figured. I installed them to stop the average amatuer but I know theres always a way. Just hope that the alarm is enough to prevent someone from having the time to take them off.

That tool does not work on all locks.
There are special locks available by the rim manufacturer most times, that fits snug with the rim and allows no special socket to remove it, chissel, drilling etc.
Ive seen them, and the dealer is required to keep a Master Key Set with the Manager, locked away. The Manufacturer does not release them as well .
Also there are models that are two piece locks, on on the stud, the other screws into it and fits snug in the rim.

Sorry to hear about that man!
All I can say on my behalf is: that's why she's parked in the garage, that's why I have a big dog roaming the house at night (to hear the commotion and start barking), and when all else fails, that's why I have SEVERAL weapons within arms reach! I don't care who is messing withMY car inMY garage - you can bet your a$$ they're getting a few full metal jackets in their a$$ if I catch them (and that's if the dog doesn't get them first!!!)!!!
