We used to HANG horse thieves back in the old west. That deterred people from stealing someones horse. What is the difference between a man's horse and his automobile?

They're joyfully elated when they first get in the car, like "DAMN! That was easy! We gonna have some fun!".

I've only seen the show a couple times but I love the fact that every one of them has a story of where the car came from and which friend asked them to drive it from where to where. You would figure someone who's able to make up stuff like that would be able to get a job as a politician or something.

Okay, no one on that program is a brain surgeon..they see a car, WOW, it has the KEYS in it...okay, let's just take it for a ride. I don't like the whole premise of the show, they put the car in an area wit homeless dudes...come on...of course they are going to take the car for a ride. These are not the same people who are actually stealing cars, that do not have keys in them...These guys are so stupid, it is really pathetic.

One interesting thing...have not seen any women carjackers...interesting...

Baiting people to commit a crime is an abuse of government power.

You haven't seen all of them then. One woman had her family with her.

Those aren't homeless peopel stealing the cars on that show. Those are carreer criminals. Sometimes they even bust chop shops when they catch the guys that the car thief calls on his cell phone while he's stealing hte car. These guys are not joy riding in the car (like that would someohw make it OK anyway). They are thieves and they do real harm to their victims, as well as to all of us through the higher insurance costs we all pay.

You're no different than the rest of the race baiting crew, you don't want me to say what I feel... you desperately want me to say something you can somehow twist into something racist so you can run to one of your quick-dial leftist mods who will then give me an infraction or ban me which is of course your ultimate goal because you can't stand to hear the truth from someone like me.
I have never reported you to a mod. I want you to say what you feel. Just don't whine when I point you out for it. Sarcasm nah you meant it just like that. So we blame everything on slavery just so we can steal right backspace?

You're not going to arrest a black guy smoking crack in rural West Virginia and you're not going to arrest some hillbilly making moonshine in Detroit.

I don't know how many cities they film Bait Car in but that might have a lot to do with the appearance.
Why couldn't you have just said that at first instead of that other bull.
