Does Montpelier PD actually have adequate staffing to put out bait cars?

They absolutely do not. They are very short staffed and have stated they may not respond to calls that aren't emergencies. I'm not sure what motivation they would have to use "bait cars" even if they weren't. It's not like car theft is a big problem in Montpelier.

Hell no, they don't even patrol between 12:00-8:00 AM because they can't afford the overtime
