Did you see the tv program a few weeks back where Toad fitted one of their 
cameras in a police decoy car in Leeds?
They parked it in a road off Mabgate, just across the motorway from the 
Playhouse. Got a beautiful set of pics of a low-life breaking in, realizing 
that it had a dummy radio but stealing it anyway. The police grabbed him as he 
had it away on his toes towards the Playhouse and the Headrow where he hoped 
to get lost in the crowds.

US listers should note that there is no 'entrapment' defence under English 
law, at least not if you want to keep your testicles where God intended them 
to be. Unfortunately, an increase in the number of social workers attending 
police stations means that fewer petty thieves 'fall down the steps to the 
cells' these days.
