Disagree. Depending on the approach taken, the theft can look like a legitimate owner getting into a car. Even the break the window and reprogram a key via ODBII port technique takes about a minute to complete. Plenty of people have posted videos of their cars being stolen (I'm part of several Camaro communities, which are big theft targets) via this technique and it's crazy how fast the thieves are.
Tow trucks attract a shitload of attention. My neighbor had her car towed yesterday and two neighbors came out to check on it.

- dghlsakjg 3y agoMy sister lost the key for her bike lock while her bike was locked. I pulled up with a grinder and destroyed the lock in a busy downtown district in the middle of the day, loaded the bike into my car, and nobody said a thing. I was actually a little shocked since I had come ready with the receipt for the bike and everything.
- RandallBrown 3y agoI've seen cars towed in less than 30 seconds from parallel parking spots. Even if it took longer, it still looks more legitimate to bystanders than a broken window.
