Take The Bait

I was flipping through the channels the other night when I came across a TV show that caught my attention. The show is called Bait Car. For those of you who don't know what that is, it is a show where they set up a car in an area with a high rate of stolen vehicles and basically use the car as bait to catch criminals in the act. They have cameras inside the car and the car is set up to where the people running the show can kill the engine and lock the crooks inside at any given moment. There is really no escape once they are in the car. As I began to watch this show I was shocked at how quickly these people jumped in the car and sped away. They were all very aware when a person left their car somewhere and almost immediately broke in as they walked away. This was definitely  not their first time to steal a car, they knew exactly what they were doing. Usually two people were on the look out for the police or anyone else, while the others searched the car for valuables and the driver hopped in the front seat to start the car. They even used a shirt or a towel to touch everything inside the car so they wouldn't leave their fingerprints. I was so surprised how easily your possessions can be stolen from you, and even more surprised that the the ifs really felt no remorse about it. It really opened my eyes to the reality we live in. You can never be too careful now. This is a clip from Bait Car
