Someone in the RMT PD office have their thinking cap on..

It would seem that RMPD has decide to get those car thieves once and for all. Yes, and they have a plan. Which has been used in other cities across the US. What is it, and will it really work?

It would seem that RMPD will start using Bait Cars.. Yes Bait Cars to catch those car thieves.

Now you ask what is a Bait Car, here is the 411 on that.

A bait car, also called a hot car, is a vehicle used by law enforcement agencies to capture car thieves. The vehicles are modified, with features including GPS tracking and audio/video surveillance technology, and can be remotely monitored and controlled. A "kill switch" may be installed in the vehicle allowing police to remotely disable the engine and lock all doors from the inside, preventing escape.

The bait car, often filled with valuable items to draw attention to it, is parked in a high auto-theft area. In some cases, the vehicle may be simply left unlocked with the keys in the ignition. When the car is stolen, officers are immediately alerted, and can monitor the vehicle and send commands to control it such as disabling the engine, locking the doors or honking the horn. Live audio/video streaming devices may be installed allowing law enforcement personnel to determine how many suspects are in the car, what they are planning and if they are armed.

I hope this will work, but they (RMPD) need to go after some the car salvage yards owner too. There are a few in and near the City limits, who will take the car as junk and pay the person with out the person having a title or showing ID. Which is against the law, but these owners don’t care, cause the cops never charge them. Even after finding stolen cars and trucks on their lots
