Been googling, you would think with all the dodgy thieving gits out there there would be a master key on eBay

The thing the tyre company used was obviously the size of the locking wheel nut key but with about 100 "pins". They fitted into every possible shape of locking nut.
eBay probably are not allowed to sell them , as you say thieves would on it like a rash. Do it now ! Your a long time dead !!

Go to the dealers. They'll try their whole selection of locking keys out and sell you a new key. If you chisel/smash 'em off, you've still got to buy a new set anyway.

Most garages have a lock nut remover. Snap On one works well. Like a female version of stud extractor.

Sometimes a socket, preferably impact, can be hammered on to lock nut and used with an impact gun.
