I agree that most normal wheel locks are useless but the X2 is different then all of them.

There's a few stories online that the gorilla saved a few wheels. Haven't heard of any fail yet either. Any lug that spins freely to avoid being spun off by a easy off socket will work great. Gorilla has 2 kinds of these "spin off" lugs which are the x2 and their acorn looking.

Update: just got another set of super advans in the mail today from japan. Different sizes but sam color. Time to grab some nice lugs too

I didn't go with the Gorilla Guard Locks as they will just collect dirt/gunk that you would never be able to clean out of them.

One night a pair of thieves took everything out of the interior of her car but just for shits and giggles they slashed the convertible top. I had a t-top trans am that they got into as well. They tried to smash the t-tops but that glass was indestructible. Had one fly off at a track day, go up about 100ft in the air and come down with only a scratch lol.

Hopefully karma plays out with these folks though and you get your cars back on the road.
I had a 510 back in the early 1980s. It still had the stock AM only radio. Some jerk broke into it, smashed out several windows and actually pried the radio out of the dash with a crow bar (from the look of it) and took the radio. I can't imagine that it was worth much-just pissed off that he didn't get any good loot I suspect.
