Maybe I missed it, but I didn't hear any cops thanking 3M security for the conviction. :rolleyes: Security? Oh yeah, that's right. They did help us.

Actually, most of the heartfelt thanks I ever got from cops was when I handed them a videotape. The videotape is some of the best evidence you could ever have. In some cases all we had to do was wave a vhs tape in front of the judge and he would automatically call a verdict. Were the cops thankful? You bet.

Excellent. I'm glad that in your case(s), it worked out that way. Remember though that when the sun is shining there, it's raining somewhere else. In other words, your good experience may not be mine.

Very true. It may not be mine next time either.
