Sad, that we can't have anything nice these days, others just want it more then you.

They merely stack lumber or concrete blocks under the car, let enough air out of the tires to allow the car to settle onto the blocks, then remove the tires and wheels without any difficulty and leave your car sitting on blocks...if you're lucky.
Two guys can do it in less than three minutes.

Any locks can be easily beat. They are just a deterant to lazy crooks. Because of the uniqueness of these wheels perhaps that will bust the slobs when they go to boost them.

Would that method work with a runflat tires?

The sob thief has a lead shortage in his blood. A couple of 230 grain Gold Dot 45 acp would fix that sorry bast--d right up. I realize you can't shoot the sorry thief for stealing your wheels and tires but I'd sure be hard pressed not to if I were to catch them. Sorry for your loss. Hope your insurance pays up quickly..

Such a shame, having a real problem in Austin with tire/wheel theft. One dealer lost over 100 wheel/tires a short while ago. The police think that the thieves have the keys to wheel locks, maybe some thugs who work for a tire dealer. This is worthy of buckshot in the butt.

No. I was going to comment on that as well. In fact, even without run flats I doubt if it's very easy. The tires would not just fold up, they would still have pretty strong contact with the ground without the car actually being raised.
