    Don't worry, Mr. Canarino. No one knows you're cooperating with our prosecution and, just in case, we've got a vehicle parked outside. It's discrete and blends in with the neighborhood.

    I doubt if anyone will even notice it.

    @OMG! Ponies!: I was going to say that's what they parked on the hood of your Red VW rental car in CA last week, but that vehicle looked different.

    Nice to know that half-assed policing will play in Peoria.

    lol, Peoria IL... will they ever learn? That used to be a pretty cool place to go, until their economy went bust about 10 years ago

    It's true that 9 times out of 10, there is no one to review said footage, and it will only get pulled if something happens. Where I used to work, I had 4 cameras in my area, one in each corner of the room. There was no where you couldn't be seen while in there. yet everyday around 3pm, when I should have been eating Emerald Nuts, I would put my feet on my desk and sleep for an hour or so. Did anyone ever check the tapes? No, because nothing happened. Only if something happened would they have watched the tape from the event and then done an
    "audit" where they pull random footage from random days to see what was going on.

    This is almost exactly like something from the movie Clerks. Dante and his girlfriend, Veronica, were behind the counter, talking. And scene:

    Veronica: "How much money did you leave up there?"
    Dante: "Like three dollars in mixed change and a couple of singles. This time in the morning, people just get a paper or coffee."
    Veronica: "You're trusting."
    Dante: "Why do you say that?"
    Veronica: "How do you know they're taking the right amount of change or even paying for what they take."
    Dante: "Theoretically, people see money on the counter, no one around, they think they're being watched."
    Veronica: "Honesty through paranoia."

    I remember back in the 80's, the attack of the armadillos. There were armadillos as far as the eye could see. If it wasnt for our hoses, we may not be the civilization we are now.

    unless he got caught with the money I doubt they will be able to convict him. there is so much reasonable doubt. Even just placing him at the scene does nothing because he hired those other people to be there too.

    all his defense would have to be was that he was one of the people hired to be there.

    I dont think they caught him. How can you plan and execute something so well only to fuck it with some amateur mistake? They didnt catch him, they just arrested some innocent guy so they dont look like idiots.

    @Alex2643: The best laid plans of mice and men oft go awry.


    @ScruffytheJanitor: Ahh Robin, we've come across one of the Riddlers clues. "Why the hell was he in the states"?


    States? Hrmmm, I'm stumped Batman.


    It is to be expected my young ward. But, what color is Hell?


    Red, Batman.


    Yes! And what is a "Still in the States"? Why a Still in the States during prohibition was a...


    A Target Batman!


    Exactly. Now where do we find a red target?


    I know! He's at the Target in downtown Gotham!


    Both: To the Batmobile!
