I know how they work. I was referring to the stock lug nuts and previous posts when people have wanted to change rims but found that their lug wrenches from just about any other vehicle wouldn't work.
I also know that if you lose that socket (or leave it at home on your work bench the day you drive over that nail, you're dead in the water. You're left with tearing it up with vise grips if you can get them around the outside of the nut or drilling a hole through the top of it and using a bolt extractor.
One of the best ways for me to keep my rims safe is to stay out of the neighborhoods where that sort of criminal activity is prevalent. That pays off in avoiding scores of other issues, too.
