Wouldn't that do a fair bit of damage if you left it in gear?

Company in Birmingham have got a flat bed with a forklift that goes under each set of wheels. They park alongside the car and then lift it straight up onto the back of the truck. Bastards.

Also, what about cars with cat 1 alarms which have tilt sensors etc.
If I try jack mine up without unlocking it the alarm goes off. They just gonna drive down the road with the alarm going off?

How do they release the handbrake too? I've seen them jack the rear wheels onto little dollies before but not all the time. I guess in the states with everyone driving autos and leaving their 'e-brakes' off it's easier.

I think you'd avoid it by not parking illegally.
