Caught red handed

I just got a CAP msg across the wire about 4 ELTs that went off at an
airport all at once. (I"m not sure if I'm allowed to post the actual
transmission or mission details).
The first 3 signals were found in aircraft that had been broken into.
The 4th signal was found in a van down the street with a couple young
men who seemed surprised to see people in uniform approach them!!! The
moral of the story is, don't steal electronics if you don't know what
they are!

since it was on airport property, doesn't that make it a federal crime?
if so, bubbah is about to get a couple new girlfriends

It might even be a Federal offense.

There was one like that is Scotland (South Erskine?) many
years ago. Guy thought that the emergency transmitter from his
work on the offshore oil rig would be just the thing for his boat.
Trouble was it went off in his loft. If I recall correctly
it may have been Christmas day at 0300 or something like that
when the sound of beating rotors woke him up.

I wonder why there is a Sea King hovering 50 feet over my house?

I seem to recall that he was charged with theft.
Probably didn't have to pay for the helicopter which
would have got his attention.

It was maybe 25 years ago and I think that the rescue services
had to expend a lot of effort to locate the beacon. I am sure
that it is easier now but they were designed pretty much for
use in the open and not for locating a particular house in a town.

Weird how comfortable, even gleeful, Americans are about using
homosexual rape as punishment for crimes.

Wasn't the purpored existence of Sadam Hussein's "rape rooms" part of
the justification for the Iraq invasion?

OK, forget the Iraq part.

Just explain why Americans think homosexual rape is both amusing and
appropriate for petty criminals.

We can all agree that monkeys usually make anything funny. Work with me
here.

There's a scene in the movie "Trading Places" (1983) that showcases all
elements of your ...query. Including funny! :-)

They don't. Why do you think they do?
