Wheel Locks...

Are they just a waste of money because the arseholes have the keys anyway. I've never had a wheel stolen and the car is garaged every night and I never go to bad areas. Thinking its just another waste of $50.

Do you guys use 'em?

If someone wants to steal your wheels, they will no matter what safety locks you have on them. However, I find them useful as a deterrent. If a thief is randomly cruising the garage and sees two cars, one with locks and one without, he will go for the one without.

Same for a home security system, it won't 100% eliminate robbers but will be a deterrent which is better than nothing IMO.

I think this really depends on where you located... Here in SoCal there isn't much wheel theft. Most if not all thieves already have the keys to all wheel locks out on the market. If they really did want the wheel, they'll do all means to have it.
