Many cars, especially those fitted with alloy wheels, have an anti-theft bolt (one on each wheel): this is a specific bolt whose head has a unique geometry that can only be unscrewed if you have the corresponding key; if this key is lost, it theoretically becomes impossible to unscrew this bolt, especially because the head is cylindrical; one solution is to use a ball-type key that is star-shaped rather than hexagonal, slightly smaller than the diameter of the head itself, forcing it onto the bolt and then unscrewing it.
