Exclamation Custom "security" lug nuts?

Does anyone know if there is such a thing as custom lug nuts? I'm talking one of a kind, something that can only be removed with the original matching key. The reason I'm asking is, I havn't been gone two weeks and some lowlife cock-gobbling theif is trying to steal my wheels and using something other than the lug key.....needless to say he has stripped the lugs onto the rims (Kyougin or however the fuck you spell it) Any one?

Damn man. I know that there are some that are perfectly round on the outside and have the key on the inside. I've heard of people using those and greasing the outside to make them slippery.

Yea I have a camera set up at the house, but these clowns did it while it was parked in front of my wife's work. She set off the alarm in panic mode and they took off...

No matter what lugs you get someone will figure away to steal them . If it has the key shape on the out side like a regular lug then they can use a over sized star socket to get them off , ive even heard of the ones that have keys inside being stole by people spraying something like freeon and hitting it with a hammer and shattering the lug. Sorry to hear that some ass would try that.
