High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! A bait car, also called a decoy car, is a vehicle used by law enforcement agencies to capture car thieves. The vehicles are specially modified, with high-tech features including GPS tracking and audio/video surveillance technology, and can be remotely monitored and controlled by law enforcement personnel. A remote controlled immobilizer may be installed in the vehicle allowing police to remotely disable the engine and lock all doors from the outside, preventing escape. The bait car, often filled with valuable items to draw attention to it, is parked un-attended in a high auto-theft area. In some cases, the vehicle may be simply left unlocked with the keys in the ignition. When the car is stolen, officers are immediately alerted, and can monitor the vehicle and send commands to control it such as disabling the engine, locking the doors or honking the horn. The newest technology being deployed in bait cars is live audio/video streaming that allows law enforcement personnel to see and hear inside a bait car before approaching it to determine how many suspects are in the car, what they are planning and if they are armed.
