In Albuquerque the cops set up stings using back packs and also cars with keys in them. It's best to leave stuff alone as "finders, keepers" doesn't fly.
I never figured how these stings were legal Sort of feels like entrapment, but I guess taking something outside a building is similar to taking something inside.
in My opinion the Bait car thing is Borderline.
I don't like it, because it tempts kids and klepto's
and no matter what they claim, they don't give them help,
they fine them, making it harder for them to stay straight,
or send them to juvie or jail where others teach them more tricks .
of course in the case of a car, you can't say I thought it was lost,
and since you can't trust cops anymore,
read the papers
I was taking it home to put an ad in the paper.
which you can say on a bag of cash, or wallet with no i.d. etc.
Back Packs ? if I staked it out & it's there 24 Hours, It's going home with me,
Till I can look for a name in it, or put an ad in the Paper
