Easier? I think punching the lock cylinder and rotating with a screwdriver seems easier.
The easiest and most overlooked is simply towing the vehicle away. If you aren't planning on a joy ride, why bother even starting the engine? If you are towing it, you aren't creating a suspicious enough circumstance that someone would call the police. If you are towing it, you have a valid excuse if you are caught in the act by someone (towing because its a parking violation, have a repo order, someone called and reported it broken down, etc). Tow it back to your shop, strip it and sell parts.
