Of course, the rear of the car can be lifted and towed off that way.
It might've been Boxsterra who posted about remote hacking, another possible deterrent defeater
Oops, to be clear, I meant Porsche fob hacking. *NM* Laz - 8 years ago |

I've never tried to see what happens if the "hill hold" feature is engaged and if you were to turn off the engine. I imagine the brake would stay engaged.
I've just got into the habit of turning off the engine, engaging the parking brake, releasing the brakes and then leaving the transmission in 1st gear. That probably comes from years of driving front wheel drive cars, in which case both front and rear wheels hold the car in place. Both could be disengaged if someone broke into the car, so the locked steering column becomes a theft deterrent.
While a locked steering column acts as a theft deterrent. The locked parking brake would have about same effect.
