Reply to comment by nighthawk_something in ELI5: How do police tow cars with tow away protection activated without the alarm going off? by Agitated_Potato_3052

This is why my "get rich quick" "chop-shop" plan is to buy old used Tow trucks and then just steal peoples cars!

Step 1: Acquire Tow Truck
Step 2: ??
Step3: Profit!

Most tow truck drivers do this legally anyway. They steal your car cuz a sign said it was ok, then drive it a mile away and charge you a ridiculous amount to get it back. They’re truly predatory scum.

They already do this.

My car was stolen in broad daylight by being loaded onto a flatbed tow truck, and they just drove off with the alarm blaring.
