Yep, but why buy one when you can probably steal a plane?

I have a mechanics key that opens just about any lock on any Cesna, Piper, or Beachcraft. In ramp operations where planes had to be moved or accessed, it has never failed me yet. A few locks you had to wiggle it in, but it's opened every one.

When storing an aircraft at an unsecured facility I remove the magneto leads and I have a bolt-on boot which prevents the main wheels from moving an inch. I also replace the hex nut allen socket screws on the avionics trays with keyed fastener heads which I fabricated both key and fasteners. $30,000 in avaionics can be stripped from a panel in three minutes.
