for a serious answer:
*unbolt motor mounts, remove radiator/fan *remove PS lines *undo wiring including grounds and ground straps (the cherry picker is very effective at breaking these) *undo bellhousing bolts *remove smog lines, and undo exhaust but you can leave the headers *remove air inlet tube and any associated connections there. *on an A/C car you will need to undo the lines to the firewall.
basically you get to undo everything.

Another thought might be to park in the wrong neighborhood
