How to tell if my car alloy wheels have a lock?

Yes tyres have only done about 3,000 miles at the very most.
I bought the AA Digital Tyre Pressure Gauge and after a few days trying it on the tyres I couldnt get the hang of it, it kept making air come out of the tyres rather than read the PSI and the readings were different every time I tried it on the same tyre, just seconds after the other reading.
Persevere with the gauge. You have to press them pretty hard onto the valve to take a reading, and a tiny amount of air is bound to escape as you put then on and off. Readings may vary but hopefully not by more than about 1 PSI. video here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3H6UXD168yAI bought the AA Digital Tyre Pressure Gauge and after a few days trying it on the tyres I couldnt get the hang of it, it kept making air come out of the tyres rather than read the PSI and the readings were different every time I tried it on the same tyre, just seconds after the other reading.
Several tyres all losing pressure at the same time and rate is unusual. Just thinking laterally, could anyone (neighbour, kids) be letting air out of your tyres for a prank? It's been known...
Thanks, I have considered if maybe a neighbour etc was letting the tyres down...possible...I doubt it though.
Is it normal once I push the head of the digital tyre pressure gauge in firmly that there is a loud hissing noise for about 3 seconds? Is this not a sound of the air from the tyre being lost? It shouldnt lose more than 1 PSI being lost from that should it?
