You probably already know this if you've been watching TV shows like COPS, Vice Squad and other similar reality-based TV shows. The basic premise here is that the police are using bait or decoy cars to find and catch car thieves in high crime and high car theft areas. Numerous police apartments have found these decoy cars to be very helpful both in catching car thieves and in prosecuting them. And because of this there will be more and more of them in place in cities throughout the US. So car thieves beware of the decoy cars your next snag could be your last.
The lure of the decoy car is quite simple. It's usually a newer and high demand vehicle like a Honda Accord Coupe or Honda Civic or something similar. The police placed them in high crime and high theft areas and especially in apartment complexes and shopping centers like various Wal-Mart parking lots. As you can see by watching the reality-based TV shows like cops many times the police will actually leave the keys right there in the car to make it that much more enticing to the car thieves.
These cars are all rigged with hidden cameras, global positioning systems (GPS) and usually a satellite linked cutoff switch or similar apparatus. This way the entire theft is caught at point blank and from various positions so the criminal cannot argue that it was not them in the car. The GPS makes the police don't have to be at the scene or nearby and can monitor the car and take control of it at any time they wish. The satellite linked cutoff switch or similar makes it so that the police from any location can call in signal the car to be shut down and locked. This locks in a car thief makes it so they can't get out.

If you watch the reality shows what's the car shuts off the car thief tries to get out, but usually at that moment they are met by the police and give him put their hands up. Next they're taken to jail and they face the court system and prosecutor were upon almost all of them plead guilty because they really have nothing they can do to fight the videotaped of them doing the deed. It's hard to fight the car theft charge when all the police have to do now is display the videotaped from any of several points of view showing that the individual did do it and that it is not their car.
Several car insurance companies like Nationwide have actually donated vehicles and monies to various police departments so they could start up these antitheft decoy car programs. The decoy cars are not cheap. The police have to buy late-model high demand cars like the Accord and Civic which range from $10-$20,000 or more and then they have to add another $20-$40,000 in equipment installation to get the car properly equipped and set for catching auto thieves.

Some police departments are even nice enough to place signs out in these areas where the decoy cars are being deployed warning that they are there. And apparently some thieves are not intelligent enough to read the signs. These signs should be a blaring red warning to them do not steal cars in this area - go somewhere else! You know even after the publicity of these decoy cars on TV shows like COPS it never fails that some car thief still gets caught and some of them even know about the decoy cars and admit it on tape. I guess they just couldn't stop themselves from what they thought was a great opportunity stealing a car.
Whatever the case, the decoy cars work, as car thefts in the areas were these decoy cars are deployed have all noticed marked drops in car thefts. What is also interesting to note is that many police departments have also noticed that other crimes like violent crimes and similar have also dropped in the same areas where these decoy cars are deployed. Apparently the car thieves do other crimes also or have other nefarious friends and associates that hang around them or that they attract. In any case they should probably put these decoy cars everywhere and we would all see a noticeable drop in all sorts of crimes.
