In short, no. In the very early days of that operation there was an attempt at it at LPL allegedly (so the press release went) because they were being very successful at solving car thefts - some story about high speed night chases if I recall. So after the unsuccessful torch attempt (and they carried a small ding in the fuselage to prove it), various units then surrounded their pads with concrete bollards much akin to the temporary motorway barriers when they do those lovely contraflows.... I'm sure this was also part of the unit's reason to move a couple of years ago from LPL to the military base at Woodvale...
