Locks add only at most a second or two to each wheel stolen, compared to the
time it takes to get the wheel off the ground and supported by something to
leave the car sitting on. If there are two thieves working on it, one on the
lug nuts while the other is lifting the corner, it doesn't slow things down
at all.

Locks add only at most a second or two to each wheel stolen, compared to the
time it takes to get the wheel off the ground and supported by something to
leave the car sitting on. If there are two thieves working on it, one on the
