"Towing is the problem with all the anti-theft systems, so far there's no great way to prevent it...." luxus has started on the idea... say if you park it, and hit the lock button.. the doors lock and all that.. but also it turns on a sensor that can tell if the car is being pick up.. or is being pulled.. its a start...


Yeah you can get tilt sensors (basically a mercury switch) for DEI alarms.....but really, alarms don't keep your car from being stolen. Half the cars I've ever seen towed have had the alarms blaring, and they were being towed legally......

Who pays attention to alarms these days? When companies advertise the panic button as "great for finding your car in a crowded parking lot cuz you can't remember where you parked" they became about as useful as antibiotics for colds.

A 24hr. armed guard who won't rob you himself probably is the most reliable theft protection system for when you're not at home. Whaddya think, 10 gauge with slugs sound good enough?
