as far as people towing cars away, those people are usually profesionals and chances are they are doing it for cash and i love my g bodies as much as the rest of you but if i am stealing cars and there is a g body decked out sitting there and a new stock say escalade or whatever, i am going after the escalade and making allot more cash off of it. i have honestly never heard of a car be stolen that way but i am not form a huge city but its a big city. not saying its not possible but like they said above, if they really want it they are gonna get it. as far as deterent from the average a-holes and punk kids this is what i do, number 1 always have at least a basic alarm, best to have a pager which i swear by and install on all of my cars. #2 start kills, hide them somewhere where they can not be found easily, #3 column lock, might be ugly but it is sure gonna slow them down, some are near impossible to get off, a club can add to it also, i use both when the cars are just sitting in the drive. my column locks are also removable so if you are at the show or out cruising you can take them off with the pad lock. make sure you use a strap, like the ones included with you cd player, wrap it under the bottom of the metal part in you dash like where the ash tray is and screw it in down there, i have always mounted my amps to a piece of 3/4" mdf, used headless bolts (think they are called lag bolts?) and large washers with those nuts that have the nylon sleeve in them so you cant spin them off with your hand, wrap it in carpet and bolt it to the cross members behind the rear seats. security cameras on your house can help while on your property but might be a little extreme and your neighbors might think you are a drug dealer LOL but at least you can see who is doing it. i also have a shot gun that is NOT loaded that if nothing else scares the crap out of a punk kid so he will either stop in his tracks until the cops show or make him never want to mess with your car again, and also our camera is always near the front door so the wife can snap pics if given the opportunity.
