I've read almost all of this thread and there's one thing I still don't understand:
What is the story about Home Depot and a surveilance camera? Did he drop one of his clues at a Home Depot? I don't remember that.
Yes,,He made a drop outside of Home Depot and they have very good cameras..One story was that he came back and drove around to see if they had picked it up.
