Here is a relevant story about a homeowner who reports an abandoned vehicle to the police in Texas.  When the police don't move the car and it remains parked for several more days, he tries to figure out who it belongs to and is arrested for theft.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.101.155.54 (talk) 01:36, 8 April 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Other good story 

message: I am surprised that the word "entrapment" doesn't even appear in this article.  I think it would be very relevant to the article to include a section saying whether or not the use of a bait car is considered entrapment.  It would also be helpful to include cases which decided if, when, and where the use of a bait car is considered entrapment or illegal in any way and in any jurisdictions within the United States and around the world. I feel very confident that many individuals have Googled "Bait Car" after seeing the television series on TruTV and wondered about the legality/constitutionality of this law enforcement tactic.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Thelostrealist513 (talk • contribs) 04:11, 22 February 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Entrapment? 

message: Hello, the wikipedia page currently uses a citation (no. 6, ^ IMPACT Autotheft Prevention. , http://www.baitcar.com/prevention) to support an alarming statistic that auto theft in British Columbia has reduced 55% since the introduction of the Bait Car program. The citation however is from "BaitCar.com" which has a very obvious interest in promoting the police action in the most positive light. 
BaitCar.com however fails to cite the statistic or in any way illustrate how it was determined. This is most certainly not credible enough to act as the sole source.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.119.128.65 (talk) 18:57, 20 March 2013 (UTC)
