A certain bike theft gave me an idea

It would be kind of fun to run a bike theft sting operation.
Basically, have a person park an appealing looking bike in a high crime area, like where the Russian mafia operate.
For reasons I will make clear, the bike would actually be a crappy old thing but dressed up in new fairings.
The bike would have a squid looking rider on it put it there, leave the engine running while he went in some place for a beer or something.
Most likely a person would come and try and steal it, but what the idiot wouldn't realize is there would be someone watching, controlling a remote front brake unit.
The "owner" of the bike would come running after the thief as he tried to get away and of course the thief would make a hasty escape, but then the person operating the remote brake would make the thief do the STOPPIE OF DOOM.
This would save the sting ops the legal hassles inherent in beating the living dodo out of the thief.
The remote brake unit would quickly be plucked off the bike and it would be simply a matter of "oh, the thief clearly didn't know what he was doing."
As a way of ensuring the thief is good and dead, the bike could actually have a remote throttle unit too, so as to force speeds of at least 60 mph before the stoppie activates.
Neat idea huh?
