Possibly. On the other hand, there just might be an annoying teenager in
the neighborhood who has been harassing neighbors, traffic, pets, etc.
The thing with laser-geeks is they can't seem to control themselves.
And, who knows...maybe one of those neighbors is also a pilot.
And Marco marked the area with a GPS. I'm not sure I would have.
Can't hurt.
I was wondering on the chances of finding the guy as well but after doing a
search on the term "laser" on the FBI website, they seem to be able to find
at least a few of them. Some cases were laughable (i.e. the gut who painted
a police helicopter equipped with night vision) and others did not seem as
easy to catch. But catch they did.
I once got a warning about a laser event as I was flying over San
Jose. They apparently sent out a police helicopter and a police
Cessna to the area to try and "draw fire" so they could locate the
guy.
