Default Theft deterrent?

I got an idea for theft deterrent.

Do you think it would be possible for a flatbed to pull a civic up the ramp if the front wheels are locked with tranny and the parking brake is on?

If so forget my idea!

Na! Don't wanna steal, but I made this lock that goes over the gear shift and been using it since 2003 after someone tried to snake it.
i know a flatbed wiil pull if the front wheels don't turn but I was curious if it could do it with both front and back locked.

A cheap and easy way for theft deterant is a kill switch!!! That way you can put the switch where ever you want and where someone would have a hard time finding it. Kill switches in addition to alarms are also good! Takes the theives longer to steal your car, therfore you have that much longer to possibly catch them in the act.

a flat bed will pull your car no matter what unless you have it chained up to building or some ****

even a tow truck can tow it away

all they have to do is use the fork things on your front and two wheelies on the rear
takes less then 5min to do it all

I never did put a kill switch in but, when I'm done with my swap and the car is actually worth something ill do as much as I can. My car is still a hoop mobile and I can't believe that someone would actuaaly be interested in stealing it but they did try.

They were foiled by my psycho ex-g/f who showed up at my place at 3am to give me some grief and spooked the thieves. she actually waived to them as they pulled outta my driveway in the flatbed. Maybe i could pimp her out her broke *** could use a job anyhow
