Any good wheel shop will be able to "bust" it off for u. Just have the shop who lost ur key pay for it. Shouldn't cost much though....when one of my wheellocks got stripped...the local shop charged me 30bucks.

you can take it off yourself if you have to. All you have to do is get a quality socket (13pt I think) that is just a little bigger than the wheel lock and hammer it on to the lock so that the edges bite in to the lock. After it's on all you have to do is use a pry bar to turn the socket.

What kind of wheel locks? You might be able to order another one, or more likely find a shop with a master key lock set to remove them.

if you are still using the factory locks, dealers have master sets of wheel lock keys. you'll still need to order a new key, and it isn't much more expensive to just buy a new set of wheel locks, but i guess the shop will be paying for it...
