Default Do you have wheel locks?

Hi,
Although I've never had a theft experience in the last 25 years, I have had wheel locks on my last 4 vehicles. As I just got a new F150, I'm second guessing if they are worth using.

Are they really a deterrent, or just a nuisance for a determined thief?

Never used them. It's looks easy to buy a way to get them off.

They aren't even a nuisance. Well-publicized methods to quickly remove them. Total waste of money.

My local dealer puts them on all the vehicles on their lot.

Mine had a set in the console, so I went ahead & tossed them on.

There was no way to not get them. I would never buy them if I had a choice. Made fun of the salesmen when I bought the truck, god my dealer was stupid but they were the only one that had my truck.
