Turn the steering to left or right when parking? U know that they can
jack up your car infront and mount a small wheels underneath and tada..
off she goes. Turn left or right also no use.

If I were the thief, I'd choose a car that is easy to tow. There are many
ways to dig your nose, why choose the difficult one?

Turning your wheels will not deter a determined thief - but it surely acts
as a deterrent. Unless your car is so darn special and the thief mati-mati
wants your car, I'm sure he will choose an easier car to tow.

immobilizer work on frequency and if really someone is out to steal a car
he will get this device called Universal Transponder Bypass Kit for about
USD150.00 and this device will disarm any RFID type immobilizer. As for the
alarm system it is battery dependant and it can be easyly override by an
experience car thieves. My car is equip with car alarm when it was stollen.

well... then there is really nothing that stop the tow truck form towing
your car away then, not even the RM3,000 car alarm can stop that.

how about gadget thieves? lots of them stealing hi tech gadgets like EL
meters , manage, etc etc

Install a CCTV. Not mean to take down the video but to scare them away..
But he might not get scared by that because he think that he can take the
video back after he stole the car... so..conclusion.. its useless too..[;-

Has there been a reported case involving Tow trucks to steal cars?

[Ted]

Yes, there is... here the story i got from a fren. My fren saw 1 tow
truck setting up and get ready to tow the car which parked at the open-
space carparks area when my fren park his car beside it. So, my fren saw
them and asked them "what happen to this car ah?" And they just simply
replied; "Bank tarik balik lor" (Meaning due to unpaid installments). And
my fren just walk away then. After about 45mins later when my fren went
back to his car and saw 2 policemen questioning a lady at the area where
the car being towed. My fren felt something is not right so, kay poh a
bit go and asked whats wrong. The lady told him, her car got stolen! So,
he told her what he saw and the reports written then. Too bad he can only
described roughly how the theft look like but did not know whats the tow
truck number plate.

Maybe she was panic and forgot that she didn't pay the installment..
