Anything can be stolen..... however a car well protected can only be towed outta there.
Kill switches are the way to go. I've worked on cars, all kinds and a hidden kill switch won't be found. It could be anywhere, any button on your dash can be used and a switch can be placed anywhere.
Sucks to hear that someone tried stealing your car, especially at your work. Keep it parked front of the store if possible. Or atleast somewhere you or others can keep an eye on it.
Never been to the new location.
LOL my car is hard enough to start with all the switches on!! LOL

Cost approx. $200. Lets see them steal it when there is no ignition to break, parking brake locked, lock in gear, and won't turn over. They can try and steal my stereo, but I don't leave the face plate on it.
Sounds like a it would slow a thief down by what, 30 seconds. Its not hard to scope out a car, see what they are using and then return later to take it. Not hard to carry a sterring wheel, bolt cutters to cut the brake cables, look for the ingnition by pass, disconnect the the shift lock. If its not alarmed, 2 guys would have it in about 5 mins. Now on the other hand, I could have it in about 3 mins with or without an alarm. The big advantage of driving a towtruck, no car is secured enough. No, I am not coming after your car, I am not drivng towtruck anymore, got bored of doing repo's.

I guess you have only had amature tow truck drivers. There is not a car around that I can't tow with a wheel lift truck. But you are right, lowered cars take a little bit of time to hook up without doing damage to them. Thats why I carried a sizzor jack. All that is need is 2" clearance a couple of blocks of wood and its all good. No damaged to the car, unlike the guy trying to put it on the flat bed. 9 years of towing and only ever damaged one oil pan. It was some old dodge with a broken suspension. This would require more time and another person to assist. The guys that drove the flat bed, used to hate me as I would never pass anything off to them.

out smart anyone , even the smartest
try pulling / disconnecting a spark plug wire , the person trying to steal your car will never suspect it , one thing my shop teacher told me back in highschool , what do you guys think ??? , also what do you guys think of the club ? , is it really that easy to brake , also one more dumb thing , my friend had a great idea for an car alarm , the alarm goes off and after 1 minute , once the crimnal is inside the car , fake smoke starts to come out of the car everywhere , this would confuse the person so much , maybe enough to make him leave your car alone and run away , hahahaha , yeah i know that's dumb , i just hate people who steal cars just want to see them suffer as much as possible
thanks
keep up the good tips , learning a lot
