Replacement OEM wheel lock key

I rotated my tires this morning and my dumb ass left the key for the wheel locks on top of the bed cover, where it decided to jump ship somewhere along my post rotation test drive. I've re-driven my route with no luck.

I called the local stealership and was told they cannot order just the key, only sets of locks for a smooth $75. Has anyone found otherwise, or can tell me where to find my key code? I've looked in the manual and through all my paperwork.

Amazon sells wheel lock key sets but not any cheaper than a new set (probably more expensive). OEM are most likely McGard's and if you know the code/number you can get a new one. When I worked in a shop we would just find a 12 point socket that almost fit and hammer it on to remove the locking lug nut.

I did the same thing a couple of years ago. I got so tired of chasing the damn wheel lock key around that I decided to just get regular lug nuts. Luckily, in my area, wheel theft isn't a huge problem.
