Gator Grip is your friend.

Or weld a nut onto the locking nut and simply replace them.

Go to the auto shop or screwfix and purchase a set of locking wheel nut removers. Just did some on one of mine yesterday. They have a reverse screw thread on them and tighten onto the locking nut as you undo them.

Of just leave your car in Croxteth for about half an hour and the locking wheel nuts will have magically have disappeared when you get back.
