Not to seem weird but I went up to the car and I am 99% nobody was in it, also if they were staying warm I don’t think they would want to draw attention to the car.

I hear that but just saying, there is zero possibility it’s a bait car. Just saying.

Doubtful - bait cars are usually left with keys in, but not running.

Where? Downtown? In parking lots?

Parking lot behind m&t bank, in front of Kellogg’s Hubbard library in the street, school street bridge just off the street. A Honda pilot with a dent on it and a Nissan sedan maybe.

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

More and more cars have geolocation devices so catching a car thief is getting too easy.

Negative ghostrider. May appear uninhabited but possibly people trying to keep warm.
