I had this prob w/ a vette about 20 yrs ago:
Guy who did work on my cars at the time heated nuts up (on the car
) then took an air chisel and just put the tip against the outside of the nut-spun it a little at a time til it was freed up enough to gitit w/ v-grips. Didn't damage the bolts at all Obviously the nuts were trashed (still the nuts on the car) then proceeded to bust nuts (mine ) for not getting key from previous owner.

Jim, IF you have the Honda Wheel Locks, I'm 100% sure if you went to a dealership they will be able to take them off. They have the key. If they say they don't , they are lying. Talk to the Service Mangager and I'm sure he'll know where the keys are.

we learned this during Giles Dyno day in CT
remember when one guy forgot his wheel locks and the service tech brought out a box of keys so that Giles could remove the rear wheels

Jim, good luck.
Did you take your toolbox out of your trunk? Before I got my subwoofer, I stored my special socket in there with the rest of the tools. Maybe yours fell down under the tray or something....

I dunno if they are HONDA ones but the outside is smooth and the top has a special design in it. Does that sound like Honda Locks?
Guess I will have to run out at lunch time one day.
