Are locking wheel nuts still necessary?

[u/Ed_Reardon]

I can remember seeing cars up on bricks years ago with the wheels stolen but now, it appears people just steal the car. So, is it worth having locking wheel nuts?

[u/T_Rey1799]

Eh. Maybe. In the 20 years my dealership has been open, we’ve had the wheels on a Charger stolen. That’s it. Why somebody would steal factory charger wheels is beyond me, but yeah. 20 years and one set stolen, yet I live in the not-so-nice part of town, and I’ve never had any of my wheels stolen. If someone really wants the wheels though, they will get them.
