Yup, we are putting him to work this morning. Pictures later tonight. Meanwhile, we got him to Lafayette, IN. It's true, people do dirve differently when they see the crown vic in front or behind them until they can make out the plate.
And it was definitely a prank! I stuck one of my b-cards under the wiper and took a picture of the vic. Posted the picture, then snuck into his apartment building. Used the old 'I'm on the cellphone so I'll wait for you to unlock the door' routine at the main entrance.
Then we hid on each side of his door and called to make sure he saw the post. You should have heard the yells and screams coming from his apartment! Things like 'sh*t, f*ck, dammit, that's my friggin car!', to name a few. He was sure we had tagged his car and left town without stopping by.
While still on the phone, I told him I had left my card on the windshield and maybe he should check his car to see if it was the same one. He said he was heading down right now and hung up. As soon as he opened his apartment door we jumped him! Scared the Jalapenos out of him!
Anyway, we get in his apartment and guess what he's watching? Rachael Ray!!!!!!
