I have a driveway that can fit 3 cars side by side with maybe 2 feet of room in between each car. What would be best for security purposes when parking in a driveway? Park front in or reverse in? Or does it even matter? Parking front in would make it easier for someone trying to pick my trunk lock and parking reverse in would give access to my hood easier and show all the goodies I have on the front end (lip, fogs, grille, spoiler, headlights).

 

I know that a lot of theifs have been towing cars away.. if you back in itd make that easier to happen... Id pull straight in.. I know that they can tow it either way, but if youre lucky and the cops find it right away(yeah right) therell be less damage done if they get the front lifted up.

Yeah I know they can get it if they want, but I was just wondering what would be make it a little more secure from a break in. If they tow my car they'd have to tow it either through a small angled gap and avoid hitting the other car beside me so it rolls over the driveway ramp or else they tow it straight over and off a curb which would surely set the alarm off unless they disable it first. My lowered car would probably get stuck over that curb too unless they really yank it with the tow truck.
