That just makes me feel old 
- my first thought was that they need to learn to speak English - "bold lock nut" ????? me no understand.
I don't understand "JFS" either, sorry OP
In terms of removing the nut, that's easy - my Irwin nut removers and impact driver would have that orft in short order

Here's one for you all - any advice?
OMG - an Axe!!!
Going by the horrible American style wheel. I'm guessing that American is there first language. So not really English at all.
I also have a locking wheel nut remover that would have taken the "bold"
nut off in a few seconds.It would have been cheaper to get a professional with the correct equipment to remove that nut. Those axe wounds will never polish out, so a new wheel will be required.
Very funny Htr
I had this land on my work PC a few years back. Only in America ah

I believe the alloy used in wheels is not that tough, so an axe could chip it away..... they could then get their teeth on the nut

Alloy wheels are heat treated castings. They are actually very hard to break, especially with an axe
Whoever was responsible for the axework, really doesn't have a clue tbh

Sigh - no it's not only in America, there just happens to be a lot of them who like to post cock-ups on FB... seeming for our amusement.
That mattress pic' reminds my of my elder brother. Years ago he used to work for NZ Railways as a fitter's mate at the Dunedin Loco' shed. He assisted in maintaining the loco's use on the Taieri Gorge Railway. That is a rural line - lots of sheep on the track ,and yes their remains got caught up in the 'works' under the loco.'s You can see why he doesn't like sheep now!

I suspect that who ever did that was an ax murdered in a previous life!
