Guess I should have been clearer. I meant, how did the cops even find out, given the time and the huge area that would have to be watched. I did find the answer in the longer article, that the cop got lucky enough to pass by while the kids’ cars were parked at a gate, and that the kids just happened to come out while the cop was there checking the cars.
I was not mocking you if that’s what u thought. I was agreeing with your good point / question.
