My car was written off and hauled away to scrap a few months ago. However, I still have the coded socket for the secure lug nuts (one per wheel).

I can't think of a good reason to keep it, but thought I'd ask here before chucking it.

Thanks, that's what I figured.

And for the record, the keyed socket was actually in the car until we emptied everything out of it (including the wheel kit).
