A few new options popped up, one of which is most promising. The wheel shop that mounted the tires and wheels in the first place, seems to be taking responsibility for the lost key and are working with me on this. They got the number of the body shop to work directly with them, and it turns out they actually know each other, so that's also a plus. They have guys tearing down their tool boxes looking for ANY misplaced lug keys to turn over to them. If that fails, they said they would remedy the situation however they had to, to "compensate for the inconvenience". I am at least glad to see they are working with me.

Also, I found a lug lock in MY tool chest at home from years ago on my Amigo. I figure, what the heck. May as well TRY. So, I am gonna run it by the body shop and keep my fingers crossed that on some wing of a God, that it will just happen to fit. Even a close fit, just enough to get them off so they can be replaced with new ones.

So yes, the battle continues. It is stressing me out at this point. I think I will be hanging my heavy bag back up in the garage today to get some of this out.
