Does anyone know how a place I can buy some screws that are security but the bit set isn't sold at Walmart. Any 5 or 6 lobe, 2 hole, star wrench with an island screws can be bought at Walmart. I have found companies that make custom keyed screws, 3-4 hole screws, 7 lobe screws that would be great but they only sell in bulk go figure. I want to install a back-up camera and it goes on the license plate on the top so I rather not give someone another reason to take my camera because I am using Phillips or flat head screws.

Thanks guys.

Picked mine up from Lowes in the speciality hardware. Did the same thing for my external EZ Pass.

You would have to have something custom made. You can buy security bit kits that have every security pattern available (I have two sets) on Amazon.
I started using security torx bits after having two plates stolen in Detroit. Haven't lost one since.

Our local Ace Hardware here has a bunch of different variations of security screws. Usually, they had the correct bits right along there with the screws. The ones I use have basically a flat head with two small holes in it that the special bit fits in. Not impossible for a dirt-bag to get one of the bits himself but most of them probably only carry a regular screwdriver so they'll pass on mine and go on to the next one.
