Thread needs to be a sticky.
=======================================
Towing Prevention:
always use your E-brakes, make sures its in park, if you have rwd back into your parking spot and aim your wheels near a wall or a solid object so it will stop your car when it starts to move.
^ they will need to break your windows/into your car, lower your ebrake, neutral your car then push it out to an open spot where the tow truck can pick it up.

Rim locks, will keep the rims on your car/suspension/brakes/etc. They can be removed but its a pain in the ass for them.

License plate locks, first thing a thief will do is change your plates.

dont leave registration/important documents in your car
carry it in your wallet or something you always have on you
IF* you cant do that just hide your papers somewhere instead of in the glovebox

reinforce your collars around the steering collum so it cant be popped easily

120db pezio interior siren
520t backup battery

Block off your hood release with barbwire/metal sheets/pieces of glass/super glued nails etc.

as for alarms, get something with a tilt sensor so if your cars being moved/towed it will go off.

APEX security system - calls your cellphone when alarm goes off, if you get any signal, it will go off.

When you drive home, if you see any lights around you. Take it around the block, turn off your headlights and coast somewhere or park it. Wait a couple minutes, if you see it again then you know whats up. If not just drive home and park your car.

Engrave something on your exhaust or somewhere visible to a thief, so when he sees it. Its going to be hard to sell a piece that has someones name on it.
Engrave anything worth of value on your car, especially your engine.
get like PROPERTY OF XXXX, then your phone number.
theres machines that will do it, and will look decent. Who cares what you car looks like, as long as you can still drive it and have fun!

Anything that will extend the time a thief has to be in your car to actually get it going is what you are aiming for.
