Light-Duty Wrecker w/Cabin Operated Control for Rollout Hydrualic Lift Chuck Whigham, Auto Theft & Security Expert here at Mid-Atlantic Ravelco, LLC and that is another great question- and often asked by many.

Light-Duty 4x4 Tow Truck Recovery w/Remote Rollout Hydrualic Lift Medium-Duty 19FT Rollback Wrecker w/Remote for Hydrualic Lift To circumvent towing, follow these steps when you leave your vehicle:  If your vehicle is rear-wheel drive, back into your driveway and as close to a stationary structure (such as a wall, garage, or even another vehicle) as possible to make towing more difficult for thieves.  Conversely, if your vehicle is front-wheel drive, pull forward into your driveway and as close to a stationary structure as possible.  If your vehicle is all-wheel drive, pull forward into your driveway and as close to a stationary structure as possible. In order not to damage the transmission a vehicle with all-wheel drive must have all wheels lifted either via a tow truck using a T-bar and dollies or a flat bed.  Park your vehicle with wheels turned toward the curb to make it more difficult to tow. If a wrecker picks up your vehicle with your front wheels turned, your vehicle will make a circle. It is very difficult to tow with your vehicle taking up two lanes.)  Turn off your ignition and remove the key.  Remove your Ravelco Plug and connect it to your ignition key.  Always use your emergency brake when parked and leave the transmission in park. Standard (manual) transmissions should be left in gear.  Close and lock all points of entry to your vehicle including all windows, the trunk, sunroof, and convertible top.  If you have a garage, use it. And when parked in a garage, lock the garage door as well as your vehicle. In the event a tow truck tries to steal your vehicle, the angle of the wheels will make your vehicle track in a big circle. This attracts attention way too much attention and no thieves want to tow a vehicle that is traveling beside him two lanes away! This will make the thieves look for an easier target.
