I have been trying to respond to the questions. If I am repeating myself it is because I don't think my responses have been posted. If they have and I am just not reading it correctly you get the response twice.
When they got Karen's purse they went through it and found the ticket to the parking ramp. As there are two or three ramps connected to the Marriott they just went to each cashier and asked how much was owed on the ticket. When the got to the correct ramp they simply took the car out the entrance. I do believe they got good pictures of them, but I would suppose that they don't have time to pursue every one of these deals. In response to Bob's question about Carol and Milton and water problems. They should be in areas that are fairly high and new enough construction where there basements are tiled. Unless they don't have pumps or the pumps aren't running they should be fine. Most of the problems with sewage backup was about one to two blocks South and continuing East about four blocks. After helping a few people haul carpet, pad and furniture out of their lower levels the theft of a car really wasn't that big of a deal. Much easier to deal with then what some neighbors were dealing with. Bob meeting somewhere between is a great idea. Put in on the list for early in Nov.
