[Shotimes] brakes

[Ron Porter]

C'mon, get real, who is gonna steal just the wheels from a SHO? Who would
steal a whole SHO, anyway??

If they want wheels, carrying a few hardened sockets, a ratchet or breaker
bar, and a hammer would make it easy. Bet they could pop a set of four locks
in under a minute each.

In the past 10-15 years, the only news stories that I've heard of wheels
being stolen was of a gang that stole wheels off new cars at dealerships in
the Detroit area.

Yeah, but how many roaming wheel bandits rove around parking lots with 
1/2" drive spanners, 6 point impact sockets and 2 lb hand sledges? I 
never once believed that locking lug nuts kept the wheel secure, but 
they keep honest people honest, kinda like those screensaver passwords 
that you see every so often. (if you don't know, just reboot the computer)
