It's done all the time over here, they lock up the steering with some device (I
believe the steering lock is not enough) and tow off. I guess it just depends
on the cars location and point of direction when the tow truck come to pick it
up. They seldom try to turn it around, only when there is a need, like damage
or auto tranny. 4wds and a/t's often get a flatbed, too.
