Who says cops dont have a sense of humor
 

Linky

Personally I think this is funny as hell.

OMg. that is so hilarious.

Whats next? Are the spy cars going to beat you into submission automatically?

WTF!!!
This bait car averages 5 busts a day but they only use it 3 days per month?
Maybe instead of the "Cops" soundtrack, they should have installed a donut dispenser and I'm sure the cops would use the car a lot more often.

it takes alot of logistics and planning as to wear to put those cars for 3 days. Safety is the most important thing.

Golden... absolutely golden.

Personally, I love those television shows where they air the hidden-camera footage of car thieves in the specially-rigged cars.

You wouldn't want the thieves to get used to the idea, either.

IMHO, this is a good idea.

lol
YOu seem to know too much glasscutter:D

Very true. I'm sure if the car was out there more often word would spread fast. Would knowing the car is out there somewhere make the bad guys think twice before grabbing a car?
Who knows.

The Cops theme playing is friggin hilarious.

Hahahaha!!! That is so funny!!! Next thing you know they will be installing a spring loaded boxing glove, inserted into the steering column to know the crap out of would be thieves. Then they can play LL Cool J's, "Momma said knock you out"

That is one of the best ideas I've heard about in a long time! Can't pull one over on the cops.

I want to see video feeds from those cars...

Cops... that is great.

Back in Canada, my uncle has a remote start on his van for when he has to go to teach school in the morning. The van is always locked, he just points a remote out the window while he sips his coffee and the van starts and warms up. More people need to know of this option, else they deserve to have their running, unlocked cars stolen from their driveways.

I think that with more department planning they could do it in multiple locations, although, if I were caught, while waiting for the police, Id use a knife to carve "BOOBY TRAP" somewhere visible...

The concept of cop car bait has been around for while. I think I first heard of it back in 1998 when I saw a report about it on the local news.

:lol:

You would think within a couple days the local theives would figure out what kind of car to avoid

Most thieves aren't that smart. The really smart ones are the ones you never hear about.

lol!!! Personally I think this is a great twisted way to catch criminals.

Ha! That is very very funny. :) But yeah, I can imagine that eventually car theives will know which car to avoid.

Am I the only person who thought of the car scene from Robocop when I read this? lol

That's why I have a spare key in my wallet. That way I can lock the vehicle while it's warming up and I can still get in to it when I'm ready to go.

Haha-I want the video of that.

That is so funny. I bet those guys feel pretty dumb when they get caught.

You mean the "ordinary-looking-cars-with-the-hidden-equipment-inside"?

I would think that making the car visibily "rigged" from the ouside would be one of the easier things to circumvent. God, I hope so, anyway.

Don't do the crime if your not willing to do the time...

I never thought I'd say something like this but "Good for the Cops..."

If they put it out every day, would-be thieves would recognize it instantly and avoid it.

What they need is some money to buy two or three cars to use.
