Well, not really, but now that I have your attention....
Had an interesting situation come up yesterday. LP got a call from the store 25 miles away to look out for some well-dressed guys in suits coming in to purchase Trac Phones. When this store calls us to tell us they had no-goodniks come through, we listen, because they almost always come and try to hit us next.
Normally, people buying tracfones would not raise an eyebrow, but supposedly these guys are being investigated by the FBI and they wanted us to see if we could track them down.
Sure shit, a little while later two guys in suits came in and headed straight for the tracphones. They both purchased as many tracphones as they could (we have a limit of 2 tracphones per customer. In case you don't know, tracphones are untraceable and very disposable, making them popular with criminals) The LP lady got them on camera (she said the image is so good we can see their nose hairs). Then she got in her car and drove around the parking lot until she saw them returning to their car. She parked nearby and got their license plate number. The guys opened their trunk and she said it was completely crammed full with tracphones.
A short time later, two more guys in suits entered the store. They also purchased tracphones; however LP did not get them on camera.
So I figure we are dealing with either:
-mobsters, or
-explosives experts, to put it gently. It is possible to detonate a bomb simply by dialing a phone number. Don't ask me how.
And I missed all this excitement because I was outside.
