Default OT: Drug bust...

Went to get part for the 78 this morning...heard yelling and looked,and undercover police with guns drawn were near a car telling them to shut engine off,and get out of car...passenger got out,and laid on street..driver accelerated and left scene...(got pic only of passenger at curb in cuffs).The car was a 70's Maroon Impala with glass packs(?) and had a side window broken out....police did not fire on vehicle..to many people nearby...(undercover vehicle is blue van in parking lot...)

Did you get the part for your 78? And can you get spare side windows for a 70 Impala?

Just bringing it back on topic, since the TV companies say that sort of a thing is an everyday event in your part of the world.

You California people got some wierd things to deal with. Up here I just got to worry about bears when I open the door. Was working on the car last night in the garage and I hear banging at the door, and when I go to it there is a decent size (300+ lbs) bear that knocked the trashcan up against my front door and was pounding on it.

I think I would prefer the prostitutes

Thats a mighty fine neighborhood your parts store is in. There isn't anything in a "Better" part of town? Is the bust going to be on COPS?

We have a web tool..covers the entire county...San Diego Regional Crime Maps...you can plug in your local location or zip code, check boxes for specific crimes,and crime reports appear,,,example..neighbor down the street lost his Ford tailgate to thieves on 6/24...report was there including street name a week later......interesting it was the only incident in our area in over 18 months...we live 20 miles from the "action",high crime areas....in fact,the parts store I had to go to is 18 miles away...

You know "glass packs" can add up to 50HP. Thats bringing back memories or the late 60's and early '70's for me, cherry bombs, Hi-jacker air shocks, etc
