yea that is pretty awesome that they stage the fake arrests and leave the car open to get stolen. very clever and like i said before NNPD or VBPD should do this

Personally, I think it's pretty obvious that it doesn't have THAT MUCH of an impact... There will always be another ten thieves to replace the one that they lock up.

Is that legal? I would expect there has to be some sort of discloser? If old girl is a little late on her payment and suddenly she can't get her baby to the hospital...

I love this show, especially when they all start trying to get their stories straight as the camera is filming it.

I like the idea of something like that as a way of protecting your own vehicle.

You're right. but maybe, just maybe it could catch the right person who is responsible for the majority of the thefts here. isnt it someone with a tow truck or something like that?

what if they stall on railroad tracks or something? sounds kind of dangerous.
