BaitCar: Only in Canada
Click on, and watch, the video found by clicking on the gray image of the guy in the car that says "Impact." It is a video, filmed inside the car, of a hoodlum hijacking a car and driving it around.
Context: Baitcar is an initiative of the Vancouver (actually Surrey), BC police dept in which the police set up, well, bait cars--cars that are meant to be stolen--and secretly video tape clearly the perpetrator, track where the goes and is left and other information--and then they post (at least some of) these videos on the Internet. It has helped them find the perps, although I didn't find any statistics on the program.
(Language note: I just realized that the phrase "video tape" will probably soon vanish, since "video tape" is now in the process of vanishing.)
Also, while he's driving around, he's listening to the (Canadian band) Barenaked Ladies' If I had a million dollars.
