Default How hard is it to steal an A6?

This summer after installing the milltek exhaust, once in a while people would notice it and look at the car (mostly other A6 owners). One day I was at a movie, and I came out to find two guys standing behind my car, having an obvious discussion over it. They seemed pretty sketchy about the whole thing, so I set off the alarm and they scurried off, then did the same thing to another car a few rows over. This kind of freaks me out, since I really don't want to come back to find a stolen Audi. But I remember a short while ago that the immobilizer prevented me from even turning on the car. So, how hard is it to steal an A6 sans flatbed, and should I be worried about it?

Also, is there any way to get wheel locks on audis, it seems akward since they use bolts.

Default You can buy wheel locks at the dealer.

Don't worry so much about the theft - that's why you pay the insurance premiums.

Default Harder than to steal a B5 S4 with no immbolizer. BUT if someone wants something bad enough there is

ALWAYS a way sadly enough.

It's not that hard to steal an A6 or any other car for that matter. If a Pro wants your car it's gone. I have done security systems for exotic cars and homes in my past life and there is always a way in....it's just how hard they want the A6 and how much time they have.
