G35 19" OEM wheel lock question

Hopefully this is a really stupid question because I hope they are not this easy to bypass. Maybe I'm missing something.

Wouldn't a wheel thief simply need to go buy the wheel lock set including the key for 30 bucks or so and have access to our wheels just as easily?

I have aftermarket wheel locks...do u propose the wheel thief buy all the wheel locks ever made? But you're right, if he/she were to buy Infiniti/Nissan OEM locks, they'd have the opportunity to steal it.

I'm not proposing a fvcking thing. I despise thieves more than any other criminals. Just seems like an easy bypass for someone, go buy a set of locks and get the key for 30 something bucks and have access to all the OEM wheels you want.

I dunno, I suppose there's no sure fire way to stop these idiots.

I thought McGuard(what the dealers put on the G's) offered 13 different keys for the same type of locks... at least thats what the dealer told my buddy. If the thief is smart, he just needs to get the Snap ON gripper for taking off stripped bolts... it takes anything off... i dont care what kinda lock you have...

I personally use guerilla locks and have 2 different ones on each rim. still dont feel completely safe tho

I work at Discount Tires Co., all I do is use a hammer, small extension, and wheel lock break kit and Start slamming... 10 minutes later charge the customer 15 dollars per lock I break off. There is always a way to get anything if a person wants it bad enough.

Now Honda, Nissan, Toyota, and some aftermarket... the round locks are easy to break off. VW are a BITCH to break off. I have yet to break one off, or met anyone that can break one off.
