Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Throw out the wheel lock bolts. The likelihood of having the wheel lock socket placed in the frunk and the frunk lid not opening because your battery is dead and you need to find the emergency release cable which is up under the passenger side light and is inaccessible because you have to be in the frunk to release the headlight and so on and so forth.
Nobody is going to steal your wheels (unless maybe you live/park in a ghetto). Did I mention I hate wheel lock bolts?
Ha, had that happen to me!
Luckily I had a floor jack, lift r-fr, turn wheel full right to gain access to all the plastic things for the wheel liner, gained access to frunk release that way.
But yeah, I would have been screwed since the jack and tool kit, and wheel lock is in the frunk!

Uncle owned a tire shop, we probably removed a dozen wheel locks a week,
we used harbor freight sockets and a hammer,, drive a 12 point over the lock and turn it out
with a wrench.. Just like the wheel thieves will..
I still have my complete set of wheel locks and key lug in a box. I don't use them. That's why I pay for insurance. There was a time when I didn't have the key lug and had to travel to a Porsche dealership to get the wheel locks identified. I couldn't remember the lock number. Then, I had to wait to for a replacement to be ordered. My wife and I were traveling. Kind of a scary situation if you have a flat tire. I bought standard lugs for all of my wheels. I take them off all of my cars.
