So, if he parks it in his driveway with the front pointing away from the street, and turns and locks the steering wheel off center, then clubs it, the tower will have a hell of a hard time "dragging" it up onto a to a tilt flatbed truck or just pulling it down the street.
So, says Bubba .......

Ever seen a wrecker pull a damaged car with both wheels pointing in different directions up to it? We are talking about dragging here not rolling. When you are not worried about damaging the car it is really, REALLY easy to do. Many years ago I rode with a buddy that did parking lot tows. He could be hooked up to a car and have it on the dollies in under a minute. No wheel angle, club, tranny in park or any other action you would think would make it difficult even slowed him down more than 5 or so seconds. By the time you saw him, threw on some shoes and got out the door he would be long gone with your car.
