Spin Valve Caps

Has anybody ever try these anti-theft valve Spin-Caps, I have my valve caps stolen off my car in mall parking lots on a pretty regular basis. This is kind of an interesting product.

Here is a blurb on them:
For those concerned about possible of theft their custom or stock wheel valve caps, or vandals who take off the caps to bleed the tires flat, spin-caps are the perfect solution. Spin Caps now offers their Anti-theft valve stem caps with integral valve covers. For use on any standard OEM or aftermarket black rubber valve stems, one size fits all. Now Patented locking mechanism and key prevent Spin-Caps™ from being unscrewed by hand. Once installed they spin freely and cannot be removed without the key. No more air being let out of your tires by the neighborhood kids and/or stolen caps.
These ingenious and inexpensive little devices replace the stock valve caps and are virtually tamper-proof. The caps have a top that spins freely, making it impossible to remove or attach the caps without a special pronged tool (small enough to fit on your key chain) that fits special fittings in the cap cover.
The inner core (center top) and outer sleeve (side) are machined out of solid brass and triple chrome plated for a superior long lasting shine. Patented locking mechanism and key prevent Spin-Caps™ from being unscrewed by hand. Once installed they spin freely and cannot be removed without the key. No more air being let out of your tires by the neighborhood kids and/or stolen caps.

Yeah, pretty much the same thing.

I have never seen them before, just wondering if they work as advertised.

Yeah I could see that being a problem, If you loose the key how hard are they to break off?

You break off the top and then use an open end wrench. Not too hard but a pain in the A$$
