Help...Lost my wheel lock

Anybody know how I can remove my lug nuts now?
Break them? Any tires shop does this?

My local Firestone took it off for me free of charge.

They took off 2 of them by smashing a bigger socket onto it. I took off the other 2 myself with the same method.

As scarey as it sounds, a friend did the same on accident and took off my wheel locks real easily.

Many tires stores have a large selection of locks..some are cool and will charge you a minimal amount while others will rape you as they did me when I blew my 2 rear tires on the freeway and charged me $150 to take them off..I was at their mercy but the guy forgot the lock in my car so I kept it..something like a consolation price for getting butt-rapped.

Is it oem? If so go to your local dealer, they should have a set of different key locks and one of them will you for your car.
