I hadn't planned for this.....

Lightspeed, jacking up a vehicle in your driveway, removing the wheels, and letting the vehicle back down on bricks is not what I would generally think of as a "stealth" operation! Anyone skulks into our yard at any hour will trip our alarm system, a 65 pound blue-tick coon hound with a sense of hearing somewhat more acute than the sensing capabilities of the "chain-home" radar stations of WWII fame and who's bite definitely matches her ear-splitting bark.

As an alternative, though it depends on the power grid being up, how about a couple of floodlights and a "motion-sensor" fixture mounted to the corner of your house?

Finally, on your next set of wheels, see if you can borrow or rent an engraving tool, and mark the backs of each wheel with your telephone number. This will make them much harder for the thieves to sell.
