yzhang, don't worry so much. I know how you feel b/c i went through the same thing. just put on one set of locks, you already have an alarm. If they can get 1 set off they can get off 5 sets. Plus, you can't torque locks to the full torque specifications without risking stripping them. Your alarm with tilt sensor is really wants going to protect your wheels, not your locks. And worse comes to worse, it happens again, take another check from insurance, but another set of used, and keep the extra money. you can actually benefit financially from this happening to you. Honestly, if it happens again, maybe its time to move to a place that has a garage.


5 sets of locks is expensive, not safe, and won't really prevent anything except YOU from taking off your wheels when you want to for maintenance.
