The lug wrenches aren't restricted in any way. Thieves can buy them and will get more use per dollar out of them than an owner who lost theirs.

- devereaux 8y agoA random thief may not have a few hundreds to invest in wrenches. This will mostly be a deterrent for opportunistic thieves, the same reason you lock the door of your home. Even locked, it is still easy to open with the appropriate tools.
- SmellyGeekBoy 8y agoI imagine it's still possible to remove the wheels without the specialist wrench. It will just damage the lug nuts. Obviously to an owner wanting to legitimately work on their own vehicle this is a huge issue but to a thief who wants to leave the car on bricks and sell the wheels on, not so much.
