    Saw this for the first time at Chili's on I-35 between Parmer and Howard. I didn't know APD was posting these or using the Bait Car program:

    It could be like putting a squad car on the side of a highway with no cop in it. It still slows people down (for awhile).

    Or even like a "Protected by ..." sign when there is no security system installed. Perps usually look for the easiest target/victim.

    Probably some law ... because of some frivolous lawsuit... that says they must give proper notice.

    "I wouldn't have stolen it if I had known it was a bait car..."

    Except that it's by the front door - the last place thieves are going to steal from (high traffic area) vs. the outlying areas of the parking lot. D'oh!

    I think it's PR for APD. The citizens dining at Chili's feel safer about their cars. :)

    Such bullshit. No signs anywhere in this country should be in another language, especially Spanish.

    Almost agree with you. I'll be ok with it in Spanish as long as it's also in Chinese (all forms), Japanese, German, Dutch, Russian, Arabic, Portuguese, Vietnamese...

    Point being, where does it stop? Why should we cater to the (generally) illegal population? All those that I know of that have been born in Mexico (and legally immigrated) have told me that the first thing they wanted to learn was English. They felt so alone / out of place not understanding what others were saying.

    That's how I feel when I walk around San Antonio. Guess I need to learn Spanish.
