its entrapment and is wrong.The guy although not the most honest of people it seems would not have stolen a laptop had it not been left unattended in a place where it was made to appear obviously abandoned.

if it had been left on a car seat and the person smashed the window to get at the laptop then fair enough but it was apparently left in a place where the thought if i dont grab it someone else will probbably entered his mind.

to me its no different than those dirt bag coppers that sit at 30mph signs exiting a 50mph zone with a speed gun

im not saying his actions were right but he was tempted by the police to commit a crime which is basically making crime which isnt their job.As for the trap cars the people have to break into them to try stealing them then they shut down after a few yards and the doors lock so by breaking in the criminal has already broken the law and proven intent to steal
