Boy, if you wanted to steal a car, that would be the way to do it. Do not even need to get out of the truck.

This is the way we do it over here. Gone 10-15 seconds.

The towing business is changing fast, modern cars with permanent 4WD and electrics can not be towed with wheels on the ground without seriously damaging the driveline. The truck in that first yuotube clip was developed just because of that problem.
When in trouble, do not fear, blame the second engineer ! 8-)
