No worries. Some criminal will ask permission to rob a store eventually..
Rather un-bright robbers have already left behind wallets (complete with genuine I.D.) and kids, among other things.
I wonder if there is some union based grudge between the dick tracies and the ticket writers. Like the ticket writers bucking for more pay. Normally you’d think the ticket writers would first check with HQ whether a questionably parked car close to a courthouse belongs to the police, and would even feed meters if necessary.
