How Does Lock Work if Using Nuts With CE Smith Spare Tire Mount

Question

How does the lock work if you got to use nuts to bolt the lock bracket down to the wheel? Looks to me some one could just pull the bolts off and take the tire

The lock would work the same if you are also using nuts with the CE Smith Spare Tire Mount # CE27202.

You'd still thread on the locking brackets and then use the padlock to secure it.
