RLLD 3,455 Posted August 24, 2018 CHICAGO — Even in a city rife with distrust of law enforcement, residents were shocked by the sting operation: A tractor-trailer filled with Nike sneakers parked in an impoverished neighborhood on the South Side. The “bait truck” was left there earlier this month to lure would-be thieves into a trap, the authorities said. Three men were arrested on charges of stealing from the truck, prompting outrage in the community where faith in the police is already at a low point. http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/a-truckload-of-nike-shoes-left-as-%e2%80%98bait%e2%80%99-stings-chicago/ar-BBMn5W2?ocid=ientp I chuckled at the quote about whether or not they would place the truck in their own neighborhood. Of course you could, and the chances are low that anyone would steal from it. Just love the admission that given any chance, the folks in that area would steal anything they could.

That's what they don't get and unfortunately is part of their genetic code no long term planning. Just because you CAN do it. Doesn't mean you should.
