    This car was parked on my block in Hell's Kitchen a couple months back. Didn't realize it was a big deal.

    "Sightings are most frequent among those who make their living or spend their days on the street. Among those reporting it have been bike messengers, cabdrivers, panhandlers, FedEx workers and doormen." What, no hookers?

    Ugh, I once saw the Cash Cab dropping off a mother and son who had just won like $1000. I begged them to pick me up, but they refused. They were "going to lunch." Assholes...

    @BookishLookish:


    Down the street from us is a convenience store where day laborers gather in the morning, to wait for work. As the economy worsens they are drinking more, earlier. Robberies started to become a daily occurrence so someone towed in a giant box with an array of cameras on top. 360 degrees, daylight and infrared. Supposedly the video goes both to a security company and to the police department, and from what they're saying, crime has dropped off completely around that corner.


    In the same vein, I saw a small black hummer a few days ago parked at a shopping center. It had an infrared camera mounted near the rearview mirror and big roof container with two more cameras pointed forward. What is *that* all about?

    A reporter for The New York Times spotted the car last Tuesday at a stoplight on West 15th Street near the West Side Highway and asked to ride along. The driver declined.


    He should just hopped onto the car's roof and hung on for dear life.

    Owen, you need to end every post now with "Or may Mary Rambin shoot me in the scrotum."


    I also want you to recite that at Thanksgiving and when the Feds put you on trial.

    It looks like a typical hunting rifle to me. It appears to have a big-ass clip, like an AK-47, but it's just a small brief case or maybe an ammo box that he's also carrying.

    This happened in a town called "Rush, NY."


    No lie.


    The deer should have known better. In Dawdle, NY, you can cross the road without looking. But when you're in Rush, you really need to watch your ass.

    I'm confused as to why the guy with the rifle didn't pick off the camera on top of the google car. Perfect opportunity lost.
