Even the dc cops can not be as inept as they are starting to look. By now you would think they would have RCP under some kind of stake-out.
OTOH, a pool could be started to see what lost item will turn up next in a park that is daily in the national spotlight.(my guess is next week they find DB Cooper wandering in the brush.)
Ten to one it will be the missing bullet from the Vince Foster murder / suicide.
