Wheel Locks

Did anyone's Fit come with locking wheel nuts. I picked my new Fit up last night and there was a empty package of Honda wheel locks with the wrench. Is this normal or did my dealer give me a "freebee".
It's a little ironic though, my car is a Canadian LX which comes with the 15 inch Alloys off of the Civic Hybrid, I sort of wouldn't mine getting them stolen!

A lot of dealers are throwing them in, usually trying to justify an admin fee. I agree with you, those wheel do nothing for this car!

You could pop off a center cap and check to see if the lock is there.

Mine weren't free, but I didn't have much difficulty getting the salesman to "throw" them in. That said, I went to pick up the car after service was closed and they weren't put on! I ended up going back this morning to have them put on the car after I noticed a nearby '08 (I have '09 sport) with two rims missing. Car was up on blocks. People suck.

Didn't you think to put them on yourself? You would end up with 4 extra lug nuts if you did. To me it's more of a hassle dealing with the service department than just changing them.

My dealer puts the wheel locks on at delivery and gives you back the 4 non-locking lug nuts, as all should. If a dealer keeps the non-locking lug nuts, you should ask for them back as you may need them some day. And I didn't pay anything for my locking lug nuts, either.
