    dont understand why anyone would choose to have locking nuts on there wheels then think it would be a good idea to keep the key at home

    bet they would be popular if there other half was out in the car and got a puncy

    Know what you mean, but no point in carrying a spare or a doughnut if you don't. very short journeys, OK that makes sense I suppose.

    There are loads of places to hide a locking wheel nut key, and i doubt anyone would target a vehicle for the wheels expecting to find the locking key inside the car........better to have it in the car, accessible rather than not having it in the car when you are stuck at the roadside even if its a short distance away stuck in the rain, or a 500 miles away in a dangerous location.

    Stuck to the bodywork inside the car with a tiny neodymium magnet, it's a bu66er to pull off so I know it's going nowhere.
