you took it some place to have your tires rotated and they LET you leave on 4 lug nuts? that surprises me a great deal.

go to the dealer and pay about $5 for a new stud and nut and change it yourself. easy to do.

Same shyt happened to me when I got my tires rotated- exept I wasn't given a key for the wheel lock nuts- so he put a regular open nut in temporarily-
I suggest do the same and order a set of new locks from www.courtesyparts.com
