My article is about a situation that happened to my neighbour. I thought I would write about it to so as it does not happen to you. He loves cars and has a beautiful 2005 Lincoln LS that he takes care of better than his kids (ha ha!). Anyways, he got a flat tire last week and called Canadian Automobile Association. They came over to take the tire off to fix or take to a garage.
My neighbours tires and wheels have anti-theft locks protecting them, so he went looking for the special key to remove them. By his surprise an hour later and he had the car half apart looking for the lock key. The tow truck driver towed the car to the garage. The next day he received a phone call from the garage, they could not locate the key and tried unsuccessfully to get the locks off.
They told him that they would try a few other methods to get them off. He was unsure of what to do, but had no other option and told them to go ahead. Later that day he went to the garage and almost had a heart attack when he saw the wheels on his car. They had damaged the wheels(rims) trying to get the wheel lock off. They did get the locks off and he received a bill for $375.00. Unfortunately he had to replace all four wheels at a cost of $2200.00. A costly mistake for misplacing that precious wheel lock key. Later that night I did some research to see if this was a common concern for the average consumer.
I was surprised to find out that this was not a rare situation, that there is no dedicated location for this little lock key. The key is small enough to get misplaced or stolen I suppose very easily. Next I decided to spend some more time on the internet to try and find a solution to this problem. After a couple of days fiddling around on the net I found a website that had a fix for this problem that my neighbour had gone through. It was called the WHEELLOK CASE. I decided to buy one for him and give it to him on his birthday.
He loved it and has never lost his lock key again.
