Lock Nut: Earlier was a time when it is so rare to see cars resting on bricks? Some of them were the old cars that the owner used to strip the parts for reuse or resale. Most of them are missing the rims and tires because they were stolen.
The cars are sitting on bricks not because thieves are kind enough to leave them. The bad boys left the car on bricks so that they can remove the car jack so that they can rob another car.
Even the factory car alarms can effectively stop this theft. Most factory cars do not come with shock sensors. Thus there is a probability thieves can still remove the rims and tires without triggering the alarm. Moreover, people are not crazy about car alarms with shock sensors. The reason is the alarms tend to go off all the time.

Even in the past sports cars come with locknuts. When the car rims and expensive tires such as run-flat become popular, lock nuts also became popular. Now they can be found in many cars. When luxury cars and sports cars come with locknuts. Wheel thieves have to set their sight lower to not so expensive cars. This makes sense for the cars to start using lock nuts too.
