Locking wheel bolts lack security?

We know that BMW locking bolts are a bit of a weak spot but I don't believe BMW offers enough protection from theft.

Yesterday, a passing dog walker knocked on my door telling me he'd found a locking bolt in the path/road outside my house and since I 'did stuff' with my cars he thought it could be mine.

I checked, it wasn't mine as all were present and correct. BUT having checked the key, the bolt found on the road is the very same key pattern as both our cars!!

Do they have more than one set/pattern? This is crazy.

The M3 now has extended bolts and therefore new lockers but I'll be buying replacement for the other car.
