Totally agree with this one - I found out the hard way!
I had a flat tyre at work and the security guys helpfully tried to change it for me, except one of the locking nuts sheared off. They could do nothing so I phoned the breakdown rescue people, who also could do nothing except take the car to the local dealer. Of course by then they were closed.
The next day they fixed the wheel and asked me if I wanted to replace the locking nuts with ordinary ones - needless to say I said "Yes!"
