Theft DETERRANCE is 99% of an alarm/car security.The Densy locks look exactly like a regular wheel lug from the outside. Thief armed with a X-bar, hammer/chisel and 1/4 brain will be attracted to what seems like an unprotected wheel set. After removing at least 2 lug nuts (probability laws) he will notice there is a wheel lock. He has a few options at this point, depending on area of theft and type of wheel. If it's a nice wheel and somewhat secluded area, you better believe he will try and remove the lock after trying the rest of the lugs and realizing only 4 simple looking lock lugs stand between him and your wheels. He will hammer them in, chisel the face out, and remove the inside splined lug in whatever way he wants since it's easy (grips, etc). If he's in a "busy" area, he will be extremely tempted to damage your car/rims in some fashion due to the loss and his anger. If he knows his wheel locks well (all this talk on a google indexed site isn't helping) he will carry a magnet like arrow described and take ur wheels with ease. Standard key lock lugs, with their keyed faces, mean time and noise. Theieves don't like that. NYC DDd, every boro, parked at work in one of the worst neighborhoods in BK, parked at school in Harlem. Car/wheels never touched.
