To catch a thief

Hey, the Arizona bait cars used to catch car thieves are making headlines in Canada!

Have you seen these? What a great concept. They've got cameras mounted inside the car and they'll show the whole scene on the local news. A guy gets in to steal the car. You'll see him looking around, trying to be all stealthy. Sometimes there's more than one person and they'll be laughing at what they're about to do.

Once they get the car started and start to drive away, the doors and windows lock (and can't be UN-locked) and the engine stalls. These idiots are frantically trying to get out of the car but can't. The looks on their faces are priceless.

Wouldn't it be great fun to park one in front of your house and wait for it to get stolen? You could have all your neighbors come over and laugh at the guy until the police showed up...

I'm so easily amused.
