You are what you tattoo

Where is Jack Thompson when you need an idiot to blow a story out of proportion, thus bringing entertainment to your bored self when you need him?

life is stranger then fiction sometimes
having a tat that goes with your chosen prof... erm i mean criminal career and then getting caught cause you suck at it - man that must burn

If he really is what his tatoo said, how come he didn't whip out a bazooka?

Hey, just thought I'd point out that this trap, probally wasn't set for him in particular, the vancouver area has a 'bait car' program. Basically the cops set up some tempting cars, but with cameras and mics for proof who is stealing, as well as with gps and the ability to remotly disable the engine. Then they leave these cars in mall parking lots and other such places that have a high car theft rate.

Though I haven't caught the actual story on this guy, this is probally what happened.

You can watch some of the real bait car videas here

Some of them are pretty hilarious, expecially the ones where the criminals make comments of "I hope this isn't a bat car."

um.. this article is kind of wrong.. I live in vancouver and saw this in the newspaper. He has stolen 16 cars.

What a dumbass! He would have gotten away with it if he just pressed R1 R1 Circle R2 Up Down Up Down Up Down.

Okay, wow, this site and Engadget both need to turn on spell check. Earlier I left a comment on an Engadget post about a typo, "pwn" and now I've found it again on a story here. I would think that by now this site would have some form of spell checking going on but I guess not. A four year old might have better grammar then this. Is it intentional? Are you trying to express to your readers that you can't spell? Are spelling errors fun? If you expect to be taken seriously then print seriously.

Mac user, either you actually know what "pwned" means and you just believe that Joystiq shouldn't being using "internet speak," (or whatever you want to call it) or you're pwned yourself. That would be ironik!

to Mac User:
pwn is accepted in gaming culture and can be seen often as an acceptable form of gamer grammer, and since this is a gaming site it is perfectly acceptable.
pwned!

To Mac User:

"A four year old might have better grammar then this. "

It's THAN, not THEN.

Shogan wins. Hands down.

On topic: That's what you get for playing a crappy game. Err, unless he's talking about the original two Grand Theft Auto games. These new 3D games are wiggity whack.

whether or not Mac User is just screwing around, this guy deserves to be shot just for having such a stupid tattoo. if I was going to get a Rockstar Games tatoo, I'd get some Table Tennis.

What's up with Canada lately? Jees.

As a resident of Vancouver (the city in question) auto crime is nothing new. It's a very common crime in Vancouver and this is why we were the first city to adopt "bait cars". This is just a punk kid stealing the wrong car. There was no "luring" involved. Cops just park the car in a high crime area (downtown eastside) and wait until someone steals it.

The cops often release the videos from the cars. It's funny as hell seeing some dude on meth freaking out as the car locks all of the doors and cuts the engine.

This was probably just added to Jeff Foxworthy's routine.

A trip down to the local Pay'n'Spray is in order

Shouldn't that tatoo read "Respect is Everything"?
