"Pretty easily, actually. If the car's not there to begin with, nobody could steal from it. It's a matter of physics, really."

Tell me then, if the police are watching the bait vehicle, and they see someone steal from a different vehicle not connected to the operation, is that still entrapment?

Nope, because it then becomes, legally, like the speed trap issue mentioned above - the police are watching an area, and see a criminal break the law in a way that the police had not specifically engineered for them to do.
