Police Lose "Bait Car" When GPS Fails To Work

September 28, 2006 5:00 p.m. EST

Matthew Borghese - All Headline News Staff Writer Dallas, TX (AHN) - Police in Texas have lost a car intended to catch thieves. Known as a "bait car," police install special equipment in a vehicle and leave it around for a thief to steal. However, Dallas police say the GPS location unit failed, and now the car's gone without a trace. Lt. Rick Watson of the Dallas Police Department tells the Associated Press, "The GPS system tells us where they are at and how fast they are going." "We want the car stolen. Yes, we do. But, then we want it recovered with the individual that stole it." Also, police don't want to give away any info on the car, as doing so would make it almost impossible to use again if its recovered. "Really what we are hoping for right now is the individual that took it - doesn't realize what he has," said Watson.

I just noticed that there's also a Decoy car article. Any reason why these shouldn't be merged? Bobanny 16:41, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

Loads of things quote wikipedia, all the answers.com articles for a start. William Nolde was quoted by someone in something in some magazine or something I can't remember now, but it was :P SGGH 22:01, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
