And in any case, my wheels got stolen out of a garage last year (probably an inside job at the apartment complex), so even that isn't a failsafe.
That powerlock thing is pretty interesting... isn't there something like that but spits out 10,000 volts when it sets off the alarm?

some wheel locks are easy to take off w/o the lock. You can use a bolt extractor to take out some wheel locks. Craftsman's Bolt extractor from sears.
i used it to take off my ray's lug nuts when i lost the key.

no such thing.
All a thief has to do is take a socket and smash it onto your lug nuts and spin them off. They aren't trying to steal your lug nuts and really don't care if they screw them up.
