Some recent model cars have been constructed in such a manner that they can be remotely rendered inoperable - for occasions such as a stolen vehicle, or one involved in a high-speed chase.
What happens, though, when a thief is making a high-speed Seg-a-way? The comparative rarity of such an occurrence
should not be an excuse for lack of preparation.
At a remotely generated signal, the controllers in the Segway would simply reverse the drive impulses, resulting in positive-feedback negative stability: when the thief leans forward, the wheels run backwards away from him, leaving him face-planted on the sidewalk.

I can see a Seg-posse chasing the Seg-bandit with guns a-blazin'. Marshall Dillon and all that. |

Yet another car chase-scene movie that needs to be
remade. Or, have the police on Segways, chasing
bandits on power chairs. |

How 'bout Marshall Dilbert? |

If a Segway was to stop suddenly, wouldn't it catapult the driver...so to be called a Seguchet? |
