Nothing will be foolproof. 4 Kryptonite locks? Pain in the butt, and any "good" thief will pick them in seconds. Locking nuts? Ditto kryptonites. Chain a cougar to each wheel? Food costs... Keyed nuts? Only a few patterns available, and thieves will have full sets. Custom keyed nuts? (get 'em made) Probably your best bet, as thieves won't be able to get visegrips or any other leveraging tool onto them... but make sure they and the sockets are HARDENED and will not break, or you'll have to machine the damaged nut off... and have SPARES made. -- Andrew Grebneff Dunedin New Zealand Fossil preparator <andrew.grebneff@stonebow.otago.ac.nz> Seashell, Macintosh, VW/Toyota van nut
