Locking wheel nuts

Evening,

So I bought an L320 TDV8 on a 2009 plate last week. Having emptied it, made it drivable (thanks to another thread) and had a good look through I can't for the life of me find the locking nut. Seller tells me it was in the glove box and it did its test a month ago. Isn't there though.

As a special added bonus I opened the boot storage area and found it has absolutely nothing in it except for the polystyrene outline of where things used to go - lovely.

To be fair none of this is a big issue as I tend to use my trolley jack which is now in the back and I have a breaker bar and suitable socket that will do the nuts. The exception is the locking nut.

It's not a position I've been in before. Any recommendations?

Thanks in advance.

Assume I'll have my pants pulled down for the privilege?

Depends if you think £13 is worth pulling your pants down for.

I've done it for less.

Just go to a dealer, see the parts monkey and get him to come out with the box set... If you book it in to workshop, it'll cost you 30 mins labour on top.

There is a dirty trick that will sacrifice a socket, it will depend on the security bolt type as well.
