Somewhere between being sane and insane!
All 5 wheels on my KJ had locks when I bought it. Decided to keep em on since I have the optional(and very expensive to replace) chrome-clad wheels. I ain't interested in having those stolen.

All 5 locks are from Mopar(still have the Mopar package the 5 locks came in) but I guess Mopar gets them from McGard which explains the card.
Yeah now if someone really wants your wheels/tires they will just steal the whole vehicle.

i used the snap on wheel lock removal kit to get mine off. i found the right adapter hammered it on and it just twisted right off with no problem. now i just have the wheel lock on finger tight

Not to be a smart ass ... but doesn't that kind of defeat the purpose of having locks in the first place?

Not to mention putting excessive stress on the remaining 4 lugs ...

It's not that hard. When I was doing tires, on some days it seemed like 1 out of 3 customers didn't have their wheel lock keys - it barely slowed us down.
