Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A "bait car" is a vehicle that is placed in a high crime area with the intent of catching car thieves. The car is usually equipped with hidden cameras and technology that allows the police to remotely disable the engine and lock the doors once the thief is inside. "Hot car" and "gotcha car" are not commonly used terms in law enforcement, and "decoy car" may refer to a vehicle used in a different type of operation, such as a stakeout or undercover operation.
