Great fun for cops and TV news, but no stolen car is worth the danger of a police chase.

    Honest question, how do you think it should be handled? If my car is stolen I wouldn’t want the cops to just stand next to me and watch it leave.

      Honest answer, I’m not sure.

      File an insurance claim, I guess. Trigger your on-board GPS. Install an anti-theft device. Each of the several people I’ve known who had their cars stolen got 'em back, operable and not totaled, so almost any strategy seems an improvement over a police chase.
