heard a pretty cool police incident on the scanner this AM.

dispatch hailed plymouth police and told of a car used in a robbery being tracked and it was headed south on the northeast extension. At this point, they weren't sure if there was a pursuit or not.

it traveled off the turnpike onto the blue route and then down into conshohocken. Suspects allegedly armed. Vehicle got off the blue route, and it was tracked on local roads, and W. Conshohocken police (and i think conshy came over the bridge too) were looking for it. At some point it was learned that the vehicle was being tracked by a gps tracking device. They then gave a static location in the parking lot of an industrial business. Cop was there, said he saw no car. I guess at some point dispatch got access to the realtime tracking view and described where the object should have been located- something like 'behind the trailer, on the side of the scales'. Still nothing. Then a cop said he found the guy and he was fighting with him in the trailer. Other cops showed up around that time, and they took the guy into custody.

Guessing (just GUESSING) maybe it was a money bag from a bank robber. And that they dropped this one guy off there with the bag and kept going. Based on original report of suspectS, and that no car was found in the lot, but the gps tracker apparently was still there.

Like real life CSI!

No idea how well cdb works for pain but I used the genuine article after physical therapy and it helps with soreness.

Quakertown National Bank on Chestnut Street in Perkasie was robbed this morning around 8:20am.
Police say a handgun was displayed. An arrest was made in Bridgeport, Montgomery County. Authorities are still investigating. No injuries reported.
This is a developing story.

One of them probably forgot to turn off their phone and they tracked that.

by **Bucky** » Mon Oct 19, 2020 16:27:48

how would they know whose phone to track?

i think it was last year when i heard someone finally got caught using the "azrider plan" to rob a bank. bicycle to getaway vehicle. gotta make sure they didn't give you any extra little presents with the cash tho.

Perpetrator identified? Only phone to leave the scene if employees and customers hung around to give witness statements? Phone synched with car navigation to give traffic updates on "Getaway Route"?

wouldn't that take some sort of court order to get that type of information? could've sworn there wasn't a recent ruling about that.

Could there have been a “loaded” wad of bills? I guess in the old days they blew up with dye. Do they have trackers on them now in case of a robbery?

that's my supposition. And the robbers, not wanting to get dye all over them and the car, wait until they get somewhere to try to open the bag. So they never see the gps. maybe there's both!

yep, apparently it's pretty common!

Maybe Roz Chast was on the Zoom call. It in no way makes it right, but I understand.

I made an omelet with an habanero pepper from my garden, and now I just rubbed my eyes. Pardon me while I go kill myself.

did the same thing yesterday with a jalapeno while making tomatillo salsa. Habanero is probably worse though.

Those "quiz daily" emails are annoying in that i get like 3,564 each day, but as I read this one, I immediately thought of a few gag answers. And I was surprised to see that even they had a gag for it!

What is the most expensive substance on earth?

a- uranium
b- andimatter
c- gold
d- printer ink

@Houshphandzadeh, didn't you mean that you 'didn't see that coming?'
