Locking wheel nuts question (thieving &£@#!)

In the early hours of this morning some low life tried to steal the wheels (CSLs) from my MC....fortunately my neighbour interrupted him and he ran off but had already taken off all the wheel nuts including the locking nuts. No damage and looks like they must have had matching key?

So any recommendations on some new locking wheel nuts? Where's a good place to buy from?

I'll also need to make sure it's a different key to the one I have already, how can I do that?
 
Sorry to hear that. You need some of these......

£15 plus postage, think it £2.20 second class but if you needed quicker it would obviously be more.

I believe that there are only 10 different locking wheel nut patterns that manufactures use.. hence a 1 in 10 change that they have a matching set
 
I guess he must have visited before to get an 'impression' of the locking wheel nut, then returned with the correct nut

I've seen some cars with two different locking wheel nuts per wheel, but have been told they are not as strong as standard wheel nuts?

I actually mixed mine up on my E46 M3 so had different locks on each wheel, a bit more expensive but I guess more of a deterrent then.
 
Used to have three sets on mine, BMW, McGuard and McGuards again. Used to get some funny looks off the mechanics!!

My last set is now sold pending payment.
