Question how to prevent theft of...?

for those wheels that have center hub plate covers that cover the lug nuts, how do you prevent someone from stealing those hub covers?

that are hooking your rims to the battery and shocking the licing daylights out of those trying to touch them..

i say go demand the rim manufacture to make screw locks with special screw drives .. somethimg similiar to lug locks =) .. i would defintely get the screw locks if they made them =)
