Default Bait cars.....

Just watching Bait Car on Sky. Unbelievable, seen a few vids around about these cars - what I didn't realise is on this programme they leave the KEYS in them!! And to top it off they actually cause a commotion around the car to bring attention to it.

Fair enough if they actually go equipped for car theft and hotwire the cars, but they seem to do this in run down areas and it is like they want to entice petty crims into doing a proper crime and then busting them for it lol. Just seems dirty and underhand to me.

Funny though, some of the dumb fookers can't even start the cars with the keys!!

the only folk that will fall for it will be the scummers that would do it in the first place. an honest person isnt going to try to rob just because they see the keys.

I would probably lock it and drop the keys in at a police station, but I must admit it would test my morals lol. Depends what car it was really, well no actually, I wouldn't know what to do with it!!

(unless it had a fixit gearbox!! )
