Towing a 300SD....

Quick questions on towing. Planning on using a tow dolly.
1) Do I tow this with the rears on the ground?
2) Is it safe in nuetral with a bad tranny?

I talked to the guy and he said when the tranny went there was nothing there. He puts it in any gear and the car just wants to roll. BUT, should I take the chance pulling this thing at 60 mph down the highway and the thing jumping into gear?

I just went through a major operation so it would be tough for me to get under and disconnect the driveshaft.

Is it safe to take the chance?
Is it safe to tow with fronts on the ground? Just lock the steering if so?
