<VV> wheel lock

[J R Read]

Try turning the lock while using some downward force on the non-attached 
end.  Chances are pretty good that it will act a bit like a wrench and 
unscrew that round "lug nut" that it is attached to.  You can then leave the 
rest of the car at home when you go to the locksmith.  <GRIN>  I consider 
those locks to be mainly decorative.
Later, JR
