Parking ITR in outside parking lot?
I will be moving soon and the place I am moving to does not have indoor parking, so I will be forced to park my car outdoors in a non secure parking lot. I was just curious as to how many people park their cars outdoors and what kind of problems they have had.
when i park outside at work i use a car cover and i park in a spot that'd be impossible to use a tow truck. it's inevitable that if someone really wanted to get your car then they'd get it. there is actually two py that park on the street that i know of near me and haven't been touched...it's a its a high traffic street...but maybe thats why.

Some go-jacks (which anyone with a tow truck will have) will defeat all that in 10 seconds per wheel. People who are getting their cars repossed try all those things too and it doens't help.ebelp wrote:Make sure you park at an angle where a flatbed can't get to your car. Always park with your steering wheel fully turned, in gear, and the e-brake engaged.
I fear flatbeds more than I fear the common household thief.

I am sure a similar device was used to take my ITR. There were castor marks on the floor of my garage that started where the front wheels were.Dave-ROR wrote:Some go-jacks (which anyone with a tow truck will have) will defeat all that in 10 seconds per wheel.

to answer the question, yes, but why would you want to?
If you're at the point where you're considering using 2 boots to secure your caR, you need a different caR....
fwiw, my 01 was stolen in 4 minutes flat, watched it on camera drive away from a secure parking lot. The car was then driven to miami, stripped and attempted to be sold on h-t, imagine that....

I just barely got my 01 and it'll be parked outside half the time, the other half it'll be in a garage. But that doesn't make me feel any better, my S4 was stolen out of the closed, secure garage. Luckily we recovered it, and the ITR has a kill switch that was re-wired through the firewall. I'm still nervous and check on it whenever I get up in the middle of the night...
