Just as I scrolled down to your post, Love Song by The Cure came on Radio Paradise.  Those little coincidences make me sit up and refocus for a minute or two, which is always good.

Crack much?  A few years ago, a guy in Vancouver stole a “bait car”.  In an effort to stop or at least reduce car theft, the police rigged up some tempting cars with cameras, microphones, and speakers, plus a remote stop device.  They’d watch the car, and when a dumb criminal stole it, they’d follow him a short distance, then stop it and arrest him.  You could hear the thief or thieves, and when the car would begin to slow down without their input, they’d realize they were caught, and would sound really panicked.

 

In one case, a guy who was very high on crack stole one of these cars and drove off at speed, while raving in a really manic style, yelling and firing a pistol out the window.  He was stopped soon, and he didn’t get away.  He did 4 years in jail.

 

Later, the video of his run was shown in ads on TV, and it looked kind of like your clip, really wild.  When he got out of jail, the guy was interviewed on TV, where he apologized and said how ashamed he felt.  As far as I know, he hasn’t been arrested since, and car theft in Vancouver is down at least a bit.

 

Here in Victoria, bicycle theft was so bad that the cops set up bait bikes.  Of course, the bike couldn’t detain the thief, but the cops would be following closely and caught them nearly every time.  It must have worked, since I haven’t heard of it for years.

@AndreG.breaks up the monotony looking at things upside down!  This Linn tech I use is pretty amazing.  He's school trained with 40 years of experience w/Linn gear.  Talk about fun to watch? He has a tray that doesn't flip over.  He just grabs whatever tool he needs and reaches under and replaces whatever he needs to replace.  I've never seen him look under yet.  He just tweeks this and that then rapes my wallet.  😂

Only 6 pm here.  The Sun has just come out after a rain.

 

Listening to Chrissie Hynde singing I Shall Be Released live.  She does a great job with it.
