  1. Why doesn’t the Jonesboro Police Dept put a bait car with some expensive looking stuff inside the car and hide some gps trackers inside the stuff then put the car in the area’s where these breaking & enterings are happening.I bet they’ll find a lot more stolen stuff this way.

What do you think?
