Seriously though, get some locking wheel nuts. Get a good brand - one that has an allen key type nut that is recessed within the outer ring of the wheel nut to prevent them from being removed by a wrench. You may also want to invest in an alarm that sounds a warning if anyone gets too close to your car.
