It's a shiny, chrome-like object - could it be a socket?

its in the battery area, just forward of the tire goop bottle.

Whatever it is, there's a space for it on mine but that item is missing.

THANKS !

I lack the skill to draw a line or circle to it, but its at 2 o'clock from the goop bottle

 

Do you have a lock nut on each of your wheels? If so, it could be the master lock nut socket to remove a wheel.

 

Yeah, looks like the locking wheel nut key to me. And it's in the storage area reserved for it, too!

 

Thank you my friend, i found my ”missing” lock key just laying there all this time where i even considered taking them out by force, what a coincidence!
