most of the time car security system are looking for 2 things; sudden impact and then door movement. Some more luxury models will have better sensors that look for the sounds of glad breaking or the car tilting, but most of the time it’s just the first two I mentioned. So the simple act of lifting a car by it’s drive tire (the only tires engaged by the parking brake) and driving off won’t set off most car alarms. Occasionally they do set them off accidentally. However at that point they are minutes or seconds away from driving off.
