Cut the crap out with campus security and you will be fine.
a few weeks ago i saw a guy with an AWD trailblazer SS have his dad's body shop tow company come out and tow his truck because the brake safety switch broke and the truck wouldn't shift out of park. they literally had to drag the truck up the flat bed.

Turn your wheel all the way to one side and engage the parking brake I forgot where I read that but it does make sense

Its just this easy. I guarantee they won't just yank it up on a flat bed.





No need to thank me either!!!

i didn't read everything here, so this may have already been suggested, but if you cut your wheels all the way to one direction when you park (if a car is next to you), then depending on the type of tow truck, they won't be able to pull you out because your front tires will cause the car to swing out and hit the car next to you. if it is the tow truck that can lift your car up off the ground, this won't help much.

pay a huge russian guy with an ak-47 to watch it for you. therfore the only way your car is towable is if the tow truck driver has ***** enough to confront him

I already pay a huge russian guy with an ak-47. He's my bodyguard. So your saying I need to hire a second huge russian guy with an ak-47 to stay with my car as well? Okay, I suppose it's worth it.

Your supposed to have 3 at all times... One makes sure the getaway vehicle is safe... One stays very obvious by your side... One stays in the crowd around you...

add more as your paycheck gets larger...
