sorry about your car...thats a real bummer, I hope they get those bastards...as far as the club and another other security device, if those crooks are determined they will find a way around it. I had an alarm in my Supra, they set it off as they were stealing my stereo and yanked it out of the locked glove compartment where I kept the alarm unit.

The only thing I can think of, is putting something like a large Kryptonite lock on one of the front, AND one of the rear wheels. It would need to fit between the rotor and wheel, and prevent the wheel from rolling.

i've seen a tow truck drive tow a car that was in gear and the ebrake on. he just dragged it along to get it up on the flatbed.

As far as dragging the car with the tow truck- yes, it seems very possible. However, I think it would be more difficult to hook-up, and would definitely attract more attention.
Also, if it is possible, somehow, to hot-wire the car, it should prevent that.

So are cops even aware that cars are stolen this way nowadays and be more suspicious of tow truck drivers? Do you have to have a special license to own a tow truck? I'd like to buy one
