Thanks Beowulf9. [singing] he's the Zodiac, Zodiac, on the loose...
When I was a child in the SF Bay Area, the Zodiac killer threatened to kill a schoolbus full of children. So there was a frenzy, and they made us do duck & cover type drills in the school bus and showed us films of what to do in case...
Ever since then I have temporarily memorized license plates of cars when I see them in suspicious circumstances, INCLUDING one of a guy who turned out to be a serial killer but the police never followed up on him.
Lol!
