My spare was recently stolen and I mostly just want to vent…But am also looking for suggestions on wheel lock options and maybe seeing if anyone happens to have a spare Heritage wheel laying around anywhere. I’m sure anything I find on eBay or Facebook marketplace or Craigslist is either mine or stolen from someone else. Why do people do this?!

Sorry to hear about that. I use these on all 5 wheels:
They're currently $28.25 on Amazon.

Not sure that link worked. Here's the description: McGard 24537 Cone Seat Wheel Locks Chrome (M12 x 1.5 Thread Size) - Set of 5, 5 Locks / 1 Key

I purchased a second key from McGard for about $10. I keep 1 in the glove box and 1 in my tool box.

Ugh, that sucks. Maybe its time to do a spare delete. JK
I use the Ford Factory locks on mine.
plus, since I am extra paranoid, when I am out and about I try to park with the spare against a wall, guardrail, tree, another vehicle or out in the open where it would be obvious it is being stolen.

Thanks @WildTraker24 and @Jakob1972 for the recommendations! It’s my first Bronco and I’ve only had it a few months so it’s super frustrating but it’s a lesson learned. I did have it parked up against a wall but not close enough…Will definitely be hugging walls moving forward.

Yes, that would be frustrating for sure. I think this is the first time I've heard about one getting stolen but I'm sure it happens pretty often. I've been using the McGard locks on mine also.

Did you not have it locked when it was stolen?
