Wheel theft in Vancouver has been a massive epidemic for about 10 years, in some underground parking lots at major malls you'll see 1-2 wheel-less cars coming out on flatbeds a day. From what I hear the teams can take the wheels and drop the car in like a minute.

Uhm, and who's to say you buy 4 locking nuts to put one on 4 wheels? 4 different set, one from each set on each wheel. If wheel crime is such a big problem in your area.
They aren't crime proof, no. But they are a deterrent and 16 of the suckers are better than 4. Well, when it comes to protecting a 2-3 grand purchase....
And dunno about you, but my insurance won't replace wheels/damage from wheel theft if there wasn't locking nuts on.
