What do you guys think about this? Do you support this method for catching thieves? Seems like it was intended to catch them in one particular area of town, but was placed in a lower income, predominantly black neighborhood.

Video posted on social media last week showed residents confronting police officers about a white unmarked truck.
Activists say it was filled with designer shoes and left partially open to entrap groups of young people.
But the police say the truck was used to target thieves who had been breaking into freight containers at a rail yard.
"At the end of the day, just because it's out there and it's not yours, that doesn't mean you're supposed to take it," police Superintendent Eddie Johnson said at a news conference on Thursday.
