The present application provides an antitheft locking device in the form of a threaded fastener for fixing the rim of a wheel to a wheel hub. The device has a bushing which is free to rotate about the body of the threaded fastener preventing a user undoing the fastener by gripping the perimeter of the body with a pincers or vice grip. A retaining element is provided in a radial seat defined between the body and bushing. The retaining element prevents the bushing being removed from the body. A deformable element is provided in the radial seat to allow for assembly. The deformable element deforms to allow assembly and undeformed reduces the radial clearance in the radial seat.
