This car is a honeypot
Cops in BC are setting up bait cars in areas with high theft rates. Easy to steal, but equipped with cameras, GPS, mikes, and an engine which can be remotely disabled. Sure makes arrests and prosecutions easier, doesn’t it?
Interesting how quick the thieves catch on. In one video (”If my mom calls…”), the perps spend most of their ride (or the three minutes shown on the web, anyway) speculating and trying to test whether it’s a bait car or not. I suspect script kiddies who find their way into honeypots (fake insecure machines designed to entrap crackers) are thinking pretty much the same thing.
