If they didn't take the bait car, it would be someone else's car and
the perps would likely never be caught.


You are assuming they would take another car. I'm sure some would, but
if you leave a piece of candy on the table, would your 6 year old just
ignore it?

Maybe I'd go after a repeat offender, but I'd not jail a first offender.
