always park your car in such a way that a towtruck cannot get it out.

Thief + towtruck = fuel pump cutoff switch killer.

parallel park it between two cars and lock the steering wheel turning towards the curb Then put a clutch lock, and a club on the steering wheel and on the shifter. With an alarm, fuel cutoff and a spare battery in the trunk. And replace your alarm siren with a 300 decibel airhorn?

[Edit] and weld your hood down.

sorry to break it to you, but they can still pull it out. if they can pull a huge truck with the wheels locked like the repo guys did on that tv show, i'm sure they can get your lil ol honda.

It's true what LSvtec03 said, i've talk to tow truck guy and he said that its juss a little more work for them. Like what everyone says, if a thief really wants your car, they are gonna get it sumhow

forklift...that car is gone in les then 30 seconds easily.

So now that you know what a fuel cut-off is, go make one for yourself and maybe get and ECU cutoff or other things. Just remember the more layers of security you have the safer your car is, but your car can always get stolen
