Default Tow Proofing??

What can I do to make my car harder to tow? I'm starting to run out of ideas for Anti-Theft, and an Integra was just stollen out of my lot, so now i'm a bit more scared than usual, its dumped 2.5" in the front, and i always turn my wheel all the way to the side, and make sure the steering wheel locks, i'm going to get a removable wheel soon, but is there anything I can do to make my car harder to tow?

since your car is dumped, put it on 4 jackstands....use LCA's or something to jack it up just barely high enough so teh wheels dont touch the floor...they will try to take it, itll fall off the jackstands and wake you the **** up

invest in a vehicle tracking system. it runs about 500 for the equipment and about $7 a month but then you can track your car on your computer. you can even start or kill your car from your computer. then if your **** does get jacked then you and a few of youir friends just get on the computer and find where your car is and **** up the indviduals that stol;e the **** then call the cops.
