Man that's just brutal. That's total carelessness on their part.
At the very least they should cover the new bolts plus the cost of another security socket. ( i believe only dealers have a full set). Personally I wouldn't trust them to get the threading right. I'd be concerned too. Did they even torque the lugs?

Second, they lost the bag the wheel lock was in, that had the wheel lock serial number on it. Is there anyway I can find out which of the 30 wheel locks I have? Is this a problem?

I don't think I will be returning to this tire place again, even if I end up spending double somewhere else.
Thanks!
