Tire question Are locking wheel nuts still necessary?

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?

I don’t bother with them anymore. I live in pretty safe area. One of my cars has very expensive OEM forged wheels but I have insurance with low deductible, I don’t want to mess with locks.
