Vancouver bait car program

In another video, a man carelessly sings along to music as he drives around the city in the bait car he's broken into, a ditty that's interrupted by expletives when he realizes he, too, has been duped.

Solicitor General Kash Heed, a long-time member of the Vancouver force, told reporters the program has become the most successful of its kind in North America and has led to a 71 per cent drop in auto thefts in Vancouver.

In the Lower Mainland, it has dropped 59 per cent. Province-wide, auto theft has decreased by 52 per cent. It's a significant improvement for a province that once had the dubious distinction of being the car theft capital of North America. There were 1, car thefts for every , people in Surrey, B. The bait car program was launched in Nicolas Jimenez, director of road safety for the Insurance Corp.

It's why ICBC's been able to lower our optional insurance premiums in four of the last five years for a total of 17 per cent. Not too long ago, Jimenez said, the Crown corporation was recovering stolen vehicles every year.

Thread: Vancouver's "Bait Car" Program. Basically, they have desirable cars that are meant to be stolen, and they bust people if they happen to try to steal them. So the theives get in, drive a little bit, and then the whole car shuts down with them locked inside. I love Vancouver They've actually posted some of the videos online.

Check them out, they're hilarious. Thats cruel and unusual, but i like it! Car theiving scum deserve to get caught, and it's funny when they are filmed and their reactions are recorded! Ah , the mean streets of Vancouver I heard that's how Avril Lavigne became such a Hardcore Punk I heard about a bait car they were using in St. Louis or Indianapolis Anyway along with the immobilizer, remote-control locks, etc.
