And if you look closer at this pic, you'll see a black rag protecting the brake rotor from the brick on the passenger-front side. 
AND the bricks are at the perfect jack points on the Merc!

Despite the ads in itself, wheel locks have been known to be a preventative measure when it comes to wheel theft. If thieves really wanted your wheels, I'm certain they'd take them regardless.
Unless of course, you have a wheel boot handy.

Also don't those trucks drop to the ground when you park? Maybe that explains how it is possible for the front rotor to be barely touching. The bricks most likely came from the guys property if it is real, maybe the easiest ones to grab.

i dont put anything past the adv1 owner jordan....
damn if you guys knew the full story on them, pretty interestingly shady stuff, it's all over the internet, the exotic forums and others as well.... everything is well documented..
and also the truth on the quality adv 1 wheels, lol, where to begin, just google adv1 and niche wheels together you'll crack up.
niche wheels are those cheap ebay $600 per set wheels, when you see some pictures members posted online of the inside of adv1's warehouse, you see a bunch of niche boxes, and some of the wheel designs are identical... anyway a lot of info available out there if yall are interested in posting, ive already done it here in another post
