Talking Singing car catches Criminals

Quote:
‘Whatcha Gonna Do? Whatcha Gonna Do? … ’

C O L U M B U S, Ohio — Police in Columbus are having success catching would-be thieves with a booby-trapped car that sings reggae.

Authorities say they only use their so-called bait car about once a month during a three-day period, but they have been able to catch several alleged thieves red-handed. This technique also has a sense of humor that adds insult to injury to would-be thieves.

Here's how it works: When a suspect breaks into the bait car, its tape player starts blaring the theme to the longtime TV hit Cops.

A videotape shot recently by the car's hidden cameras shows a man hopping into the driver's seat and saying, "I got me a good one." An officer monitoring the situation from a hidden location saw the man drive a short distance before he flipped a switch that disabled the car's engine and locked the doors. At that point, the trademark chorus of "Bad Boys" started playing:

"Bad boys, bad boys/Whatcha gonna do/Whatcha gonna do when they come for you?"

Last week, police said, the bait car was responsible for 10 arrests in two days.
