That's the way we used to do it when we were buying and selling cars while in school.

I was wondering how to get them off, and without a second's hesitation, told me "go to Sears, buy four 1/2" drive 11/16" 6 point sockets and a big hammer. Pound the 4 sockets onto the lock lugs, use a breaker bar to remove the, and then throw the sockets away."

He was absolutely correct, except that I was poor, and exchanged the sockets with the lugnuts stuck in them for new ones.

I'm sure there may be some that are harder to get off than that, but for the most part, all they'll do is slow down or stop rank amatuers.
