When you park your car, would you leave the doors unlocked and argue that if they want to get into your car they're going to do it anyway, so why not help them out? I wouldn't.

it takes me 1 sec to lock my door, i know it will never strip out or come loose. you cant say the same thing about wheel locks as most of them will come loose and they tend to strip when you apply too much torque on them. its a pain in the a to have them around if you swap tires often, not really worth the hassle.

i have a set of lock nuts that came with the car, i will trade you for 4 regular lug nuts....
