Regarding stealing a car by towing it, I read an article on either C&D or Motortrend a while back. It showed how easy and quick a car can be towed away. The towed away car was park on the street curb sandwiched between two cars. Not alot of spaces between the 3 cars. The tow truck just slides forklifts under the side of the car, lift it up and drove away. The whole process took like 28 seconds.

They put the car in a sealed metal container. No signals in or out.

Navigation systems are only receivers....they don't transmit anything. So there are no tracking abilities via a car's navigation system.

Of course On-Star is different (as is LoJack), but that's another matter entirely.

not to bring stereo-types into this...but if you look at the people who own Escalades, it doesn't surprise me at all that it gets stolen a lot

thats the same thing up here.


but i think in this category, stolen wheels or break in's are included, not just having the car towed away. that is my thoughts on it
