Most garages can take them off easy. They just hammer a socket over the lug easy fix

I had a garage sell me the key I needed when I first bought my Cobra. Only $5! :-)

McGard I think is the maker of the wheel locks, check on your tire tool in the rear or the owners manual you may have the card to show the replacement code for it.
It should look like this if it is still attached to it, the little card is in the yellow envelope.
