volvo locking bolts are not numbered.. I would say all garages and tyre centres have developed methods and tools for getting them off by now.

you mention alloy wheel thefts. I don't think any of us know the statistics, but when each wheel/tyre on a recent volvo can cost £1000 + ( Polestar £1500 + ) A locking bolt is a good idea, and insurance wont pay out if you have removed the locking bolts.

Maybe should have mentioned its only a 2005 v70 got 2 replacement alloys for 70 pounds off ebay so not quite new model prices , agree with you if it was a newer model as insurance would be void without them not worth the risk there. cheers for reply.

The only person locking wheel nuts stop from removing the wheels is the owner of the car

If someone is going to nick your wheels locking nuts is not going to stop them but they will likely be more interested in stealing your cat
