Check with your local tire shop before you start tearin stuff up. They may be able to get it unlocked.

You can buy twist sockets that you pound on with a hammer. I have welded a nut onto them before too. Used a couple layers of duct tape to protect the rim.

Sears sells a set of sockets called "lug off". It's a socket with groves in it that you hammer on to the lock. The groves dig into the lock then you just back them off with a ratchet. The kit cost about $30.
