There are only 16 combinations to the locking wheel nuts on Ford cars(according to Fords parts department), a member on here had his company car ST170 wheels nicked within a week of owning it.
When he went to Fords they told not to use their locking nuts as the thieves can get the master key for £10 which does them all.
They recommended he used Mcgaurd locking nuts.

10 minutes,they must have had a tea break thrown in.Come to Manchester and they can strip the car in that time.

The Ferrari Formula 1 Team fired their entire pit crew yesterday.

The announcement followed Ferrari's decision to take advantage of the British governments 'Work for the Dole' scheme and employ unemployable scousers.

The decision to hire them was brought on by a recent documentary on how unemployed Liverpool youths were able to remove a set of wheels in less than 6 seconds without proper equipment, whereas Ferrari's existing crew can only do it in 8 seconds with millions of pounds worth of high tech gear.

This was thought to be an excellent, yet bold move, by Ferrari Management. As most races are won and lost in the pits, Ferrari would have an advantage over every team.

However, Ferrari got more than they bargained for at the crew's first practice session, not only were the Scousers Pit Crew able to change the tyres in under 6 seconds but within 12 seconds they had re-sprayed and rebadged and sold the vehicle over to the MacLaren Team for four bottles of Stella, a gram of speed and a photo of Coulthard's bird in the shower.

No offence to any Liverpudlians

Buy 4/5 different sets of locking nuts, should make it a bit harder

Locking wheel nuts aren't as good as people think. How many people have had trouble with rusty locking wheel nuts? To remove them all you do is hammer on a socket and off it comes. Takes no time at all.
