1) Bolts are rated by strength, replacing one bolt with another of equal strength does not reduce the safety of the vehicle.
2) Thieves are lazy and not very inventive. If they were, they'd have jobs and not be stealing for their lively hood. Any security device, including yours is only designed to slow them down or deter them with the extra effort. The extra effort also adds to the risk of being caught, and thiefs do not want to be caught.
3) While Torx drivers are readily available, the are not the ordinary pocket item of a thief. The adjustable wrench is.
4) From the looks of it, your design would be able to be removed with a pair of lock pliers... a much more common tool than a torx wrench.
My point is this. You are selling a solution to this community and trying to make a quick buck off of everyone's concern to protect themselves. I am simply stating that there is a cheaper alternative that is just as safe and reliable as yours. Obviously you disagree, but it's unfair to call an alternative a "Getto Solution", simply because it will cut into your profits.

Ok, I was unfair to call your solution overpriced Pete. I agree with you on that and I appologize. I guess I just had a problem with the use of the term "getto solution", which to me means something much worse than what I was exploring.
