Way back in the late 80's in Texas I was working on a customer's Jaguar and exited the freeway doing 69 in a 55 and the Exit was 35.The radar car was sitting up on the hill of the Exit and I didn't see him till it was too late. I showed the officer the Signed Work Order (that releases the vehicle to the Service Shop/Technician for all uses) and he wrote Me a ticket and I went on My way. When I got back to the shop I opened the glovebox to update the Service Records in the back of the Owner's manual. Laying on top of it was a loaded 4" .357 Magnum S&W revolver. I'm glad the LEO didn't want to see the Registration Papers.
I asked the owner to please let Me know if she was leaving a weapon in the car next time.
She said "Oh, that's where I left it."
