You can cover your front window with a sunshade so no one can see inside your car. You duck down in the back seat (i know it tiny) and when someone walks up to you car and opens the door you say " hi you like my car? Then you'll love my Glock." 
You just have to make sure they open the door first. I don't go to Miami or roadtirps without one of my glocks.

Because our cars are RWD, back it into the parking spot so it's harder to tow. Also with the front end being visible, the jacker's have a better change of being seen. Oh, if you have an A4, check this out: http://www.ecklerscamaro.com/product...8&dept_id=1597
If you like to park nose in, park with the tires turned and club it. Can't tow if the tires are turned w/o hitting another car and the club may take just a tad bit longer. Hope this 411 helps.

Wes, honestly man I have run into the same situation from time to time when out with my car.
Here's what I do, I pop the hood and pull the connection to the MAF and TPS, if they want it they'll have to tow it. If they want to tow it, they better have a flatbed or them fireworks will cause someone to notice what is going on. If you have a flatbed you better have something to raise it up to clear. It ain't low rider low, but it ain't 4x4 stock.
You could pull the fuel fuse as other said, pulling a plug wire is also an idea, but the MAF and TPS is easier.
I like the kill switch idea, I even knew a guy back when I had my Honda that put a special key setup as a kill switch. The thing look like a coke machine lock, worked like a charm. I had a kill switch on my bike and my turbo'd Honda I would pull the distribution and other plugs around the engine bay. That damn Honda was the worse car to own with all the thieves in this town. I couldn't go to the track without people checking the door handles, taking pictures. Then going to the mall was a blast, I'd come out to coat hangers stuck in the window, so I had to disable the electric locks to avoid them getting into the car.
Good luck man, if you really want to be safe, sell all the mods to me and I'll make sure they are well taken care of............ I know what a nice guy!

so i was having trouble with my truck the other day. it would start fine run for 5 secs and die. after spending 1 1/2 hrs checking wires i found my MAF wire unplugged. i say that's your best bet. so if they do get it started it'll just die and they'll give up thinking something is broken or messed up.

They sell battery operated wifi cameras... If there is a wifi signal, you can monitor it from any computer via a web address and you can have your computer record it all...
If it disappears, at least you will have them on film.

put a gun on the seat in the car with a note saying "i dare you"
oooor throw a car cover on it and pretend like you are leaving for the weekend or something and hide in a car next to it with a camera and catch these *******.
