It's two in the morning and you are fast asleep after a long day of work. While you lie in bed your car in front of your house, in the parking lot, or parked down the street or even in your drive way has just turned on. It's not the tooth fairy behind the wheel, but some person fueled by a number of reasons. Five hours later when walk out to your car you slip into frenzy. You know you left your car there in that vacant spot, but you aren't sure. You ask yourself maybe I left it down the street or around the corner. Many explanations race thru your mind.

The cars are equipped with a global positioning system that activates and sends the police department an exact location once the car is started. Another step being taken in the metro area is a program where cars are registered with police and given a decal. If the car is spotted being driven between 1 and 5 am the police will pull over the car and make sure it is not stolen. Unfortunately budget cuts in Maryland forced the state to cut back funding to help decrease car thefts in 2001. Now with our slowly declining economy more budget cuts may come in 2003.
