Is there any point in keeping an old secure wheel lock socket? (lemmy.ca)

My car was written off and hauled away to scrap a few months ago. However, I still have the coded socket for the secure lug nuts (one per wheel).

I can't think of a good reason to keep it, but thought I'd ask here before chucking it.

I wish they would just stop making them.

Never had my wheels stolen

Frequently haven't been able to change a flat tire because the lock got misplaced.
