I just want to say to anyone spending good money on pitlocks and variants. They are no more secure than nutted wheels. They may be a very slight deterrent to an inexperienced thief but that is it.
I work in a bike shop, and people come in all the time with bikes with security skewers. They always either never have the tools on them or have lost them. In the shop we just use a small plumbers wrench. They come off easier than wheelnuts, and can be done up just as easy.
