Bait cars are left in auto-theft target areas. When someone enters a car, an automatic system videotapes the thieves and notifies E-Comm [Emergency Communications Southwest BC]. E-Comm begins to track the position of the car using a Global Positioning Satellite(GPS) system. A police unit is sent to investigate. Once the police have visual contact with the car, they instruct E-Comm to remotely disable the car's engine. The offenders are taken into custody. 1, record 2, English, - bait%20car
