    Last time I got a speeding ticket I tried to ask the officer about the (i think) radio location antennas on his cruiser. He said something like, "You don't need to know"

    So those four antenna that are in a box pattern, radio locators? For like when they drop a thing in the bag with money at a bank robbery?

    It's for Lo-Jack. They assist in the triangulation of the signal coming from the stolen vehicle. When I was uniformed, I had a Lo-Jack equipped patrol vehicle and I LOVED chasing the stolen cars down! The looks of the perps when you swoop in and block them off, guns a pointing, was priceless!

    Can you explain why when the police found my friend's car in another person's garage, they didn't do anything but collect the car? They asked the guy whose car it was and how it got inside his garage with the door closed, and he said he didn't know. So they just took the car and didn't pursue anything else.

    Elhuero removes his truth and logic from the holsters on his belt. He places them on top of the money and cards on the table in front of him, and pats them gently with his hands.

    No, Stuart, I can't. Not knowing the situation and all the details, I can't give an opinion.

    I've told you about it before, with more details, and you basically said the same thing. I thought I'd try to trick you into a response this time. Needless to say, my friend was pretty disappointed in the result.
