BAIT CAR PROGRAM
Arizona's Bait Vehicle Program - Taking Car Thieves For A Ride. Click here to watch a :30 second Public Service Announcement (PSA) regarding the Bait Vehicle Program. In 2003, the Arizona Automobile Theft Authority began funding grants to statewide law enforcement agencies to develop a Bait Vehicle Program with the intent to reduce Arizona's vehicle theft rate. Bait cars are equipped with technology using computers, satellites and tracking devices, which notify police when the vehicle has been entered. These vehicles, which are donated by insurance companies, are then deployed in high auto theft areas where police wait for a signal to be transmitted notifying them the vehicle has been entered into or moved so they can catch thieves in the act. As of April 2005, Arizona reported over 100 arrests with the Bait Car Program.

THE WATCH YOUR CAR PROGRAM
The Watch Your Car decal program is a free, voluntary program whereby vehicle owners enroll their vehicles with the Arizona Automobile Theft Authority. The vehicle is then entered into the Motor Vehicle Department (MVD) database and participants receive decals for their front and rear windows. By displaying the decals, vehicle owners convey to law enforcement officials that their vehicle is not usually in use between the hours of 1:00 AM and 5:00 AM, when the majority of auto thefts occur. In addition, by enrolling in the Watch Your Car Program, vehicle owners also authorize law enforcement officials to stop their vehicle at any time during the day or night within one mile of the border, if there is a suspicion that the vehicle is being illegally operated. If a police officer witnesses the vehicle in operation between these hours, they have the right to stop the vehicle and verify it is being legally operated by the rightful owner.
