it also depends on the car i suppose. this car i had rebuilt the engine several months ago on, after which he decided the 25 year old stock power plant wasn't enough in stock form and wanted to turbo the 6 port n/a block..
pages of work later and many addons sometimes you just want a car gone. if it had come in with just suspension work or a wheel swap, no biggie. with the wheels needing to be removed to add the water injection kit behind the bumper it put the rest of the car at a standstill until you get the locks off.
but i can't say it is the current owner's fault, he bought it in project form with boxes of parts.
anyways, i always keep my lock key in a place i know where to find it(with the jack and lug wrench). most people don't even know they have wheel locks on their car so i make a note to tell them where i put it so that they know, sometimes i simply leave it on the center console for them to figure out where to keep it. seldomly i get a car and the wheel lock key is sitting on the console already(owner thought ahead).
