Default Rear spare lock

Anxiously awaiting delivery and wondered if the rear spare comes from dealer with a locking lug nut or other mechanism to prevent theft?

Yup, just found out last week that ours has one locking nut in all positions. Found out the hard way when, in the pouring rain, the wife called to say that she:

* Had a flat tire
* Was going to be late for work if I didn't get there quick enough

And then, while I labored to change it, I could hear her grind the gears in my Jeep as she pulled away. Argh.
