Is a spare tire lock like this necessary? I read the ad at the link above and it said that all that is needed to steal your spare is to cut the winch cable. How easy is that to do? Isn't the tire/wheel in the way?

And who the hell steals the ugly steel spare wheel anyway?

You would have to hope it doesn’t freeze up on you or you’re screwed when you have a flat. If you lose the key, same deal.
