Default anyone ever though of taking off your tow hook to prevent getting your car stolen by being towed??

i know most people who tow cars or here in vegas theres been word of a tow truck going around and hooking up peoples hondas the one that uses the tow hook. and im 100 % sure that no one will be able to start my engine so the only tow truck someone could use would be the one with the ramp that holds your car on top and not dragging it? i havent thought this out much just wondering your opinions cuz i was thinking about getting mine taken off? because i dont have a garage to keep my car in over night. i dont even know if theres a tow hook in the front and back??

proably something stupid i havent thought of that wouldnt work but let me know what you guys think

was gona post in the security forum but it runs so slow compared to this one.

thanks

theres one tow hook in the back and two in the front. but they can always tow it from the lower control arms after they disengage the E-brake.

If thieves want the car bad enough, they WILL find somewhere to hook it up to.
