A buddy put one on each corner of his 68 charger and bet me i couldnt get one tire off in half an hour. Half an hour later we went to go get his case of beer. 
That was the first time I ever even heard of them.

The idea IS to slow them down. What you are doing is warding off some hacks with nothing better to do. If a business pro wants to get your car, he is going to get it. The only chance you have in that case is an aftermarket security/recovery system and insurance.
There will always be scum, you just want to help them to decide to choose an easier car.
