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.


I am sure they are not going after 6 year olds.

And "first time caught" does not equate to "first time offender". Nobody's
luck is that bad.
