[Spooks] Trade/share/recordings

[Zack Widup]

My thoughts exactly.

This obliquely reminds me of a story my dad used to tell.  For a while 
before WWII he made a living driving cars from Chicago to the west coast 
of the USA.  He'd drive the car to its new owner and take the bus back. 
He actually made decent money doing this.

One day in Iowa he picked up a couple who were hitchhining.  THEY made a 
living with a gadget they had built thich could be hooked up to slot 
machines and caused them to dump all their money. At the time, a lot of 
diners, gas stations, etc. had illegal slot machines in a dark back 
corner. They'd sneak back and rob the machines.

Unless they happened to rob someone who had under-the-table dealings with 
the local police, they were never turned into the police because they were 
robbing from illegal machines.  I guess they'd gotten beat up a few times 
but never arrested!
:-)
