Those experienced to truck guys can get cars out of all sorts of weird angles. They are trained against the people who clock the steering wheel all the way over. Just make sure that GPS is up to snuff and you should be good.

Have fun trying to get that on a tow truck. I wont go into all the details of my alarm, but when you come up on my car, everything is dead and there are several redundant kill switches.

There are only three systems that have power and you'll never know it. Two of them are there to detect if someone has entered the car, the 3rd activates my GPS tracker and sends an immediate message to my cell phone with what was triggered. It is a silent alarm, but I can activate it remotely if I don't think I can get to the car in time.

Also if you do manage to get the car on a flatbed, or if you manage to get the car up in running in the 20+ minutes it will take you due to all the redudancies I will know exactly where the car is going through the GPS tracking. And not it's no lojack which is a peice of crap radio tracker.

So don't **** with a supra . The whole system ran me around $500 for everything, and I pay a small monthly fee for the tracking service. So how hard a car is to steal is entirely dependent on how hard you make it to steal.

And most importantly- install your security yourself!! Have some patience and take the time to do it right. Don't do it by the book, the more "custom" and unique your alarm is the harder it will be to disable
