You should not combat park a front wheel drive vehicle. It makes it easier for a thief to hitch your car up to a uhaul trailer and drive off with it. Especially if you have an auto-tranny... use your advantages.

My wife just added a "darlington circle" to my front bumper (no comments about women drivers haha) and I cropped out the crushed-in rocker panel on the driver's side from where some [deleted] ran into me by not turning in a left-turn-only lane. Plus it is never washed. Plus the e-brake is set so the thing doesn't roll down the driveway. Plus I live in suburbia. They steal bikes from open garages here.
Not too worried about getting jacked.
Oh, and if you ARE worried about being jacked, just bear in mind that when they came for my parts car, the e-brake was set and they still dragged it up on the truck with NO difficulty, even with the tires skidding on the driveway.

I'm not talking about someone with a winch and a flatbed. I'm talking about someone with a truck who rented a u-haul 2 wheel car tower. It's a cheap way to rip off a car and it's readily available to anyone. If they have a flatbed, then they can get any car or truck from anywhere.
