Now about the tow truck...I really hadn't thought about that but why wouldn't they throw it in the car.

And i dont see why they would put it on the tow truck ( or whatever they used) in front of his house. since he lives on a somewhat hill they probably let it coast to the bottom where they would then put the car on it and then realize that the bumper wouldn't clear and it would be left down there at the bottom of his street.
There's a way to break glass without triggering the shock sensor.

I believe there was a proximity sensor on the alarm, however, I don't know what the range was.

He also could have gotten a tilt sensor, which would alert him if the car was towed.

I think I recall his father getting mad at me for offering him "add ons", like backup battery, glass break sensor, etc, because he thought I was just trying to up the sale, but when I saw what kind of car it was, I was sincerely recommending the product. When I went through the sale, I mentioned it, but like most people, he denied. He then told me what was under the hood, so I asked him again, and pushed it hard, but he still just got the alarm with nothing else. I was somewhat disappointed :[.

The car was clean as fuckall. This was before he had done much to the exterior of the car, so he had his mind in the right place by getting the alarm shortly after the swap, but a couple other things would have helped.
