I use an old worn out excavator bucket teeth.
Never had any vehicle rolling away from me yet.

Well there was one time but that was me failing in saftey...
Left the jeep in park and did not pull the e-brake and i was going to remove the rear driveshaft...
It was very interesting to lay under it when it suddenly started to roll away from me.
I quickly rolled to the side and avoided to be hit by the rear diffhousing.
 
I keep two foldable metal wheel chocks in the trunk. Frankly, I don't understand why so many here seem to rather lug around and use a railroad tie, a random piece of wood or their dead gramma than a proper chock. Do wheel chocks blow the bank or is it a matter of some kind of ill-guided pride?
