QUOTE (WhiskeyJohnny @ Nov 9 2011, 01:37 PM)  The trick then, I think, would be to disguise one of your team as the driver (preferably the wheelman, with necessary hacker support to get around biometrics and whatever other security they've got), have them get in the truck, and then proceed to lose the tail (yeah, I know, losing a tail in a truck isn't going to be easy - unless you think in terms of stopping the tail, rather than maneuvering the truck itself) long enough to either unload the truck or swap trailers. Nah, as soon as we poped open the cargo we know a response team would have been on the way, the truck was being tracked on the grid. To jam the signal would have alerted them, we decided to get them to stop for something completely routine THEN perform the smash and grab. We passed a response team heading there as we fled and it would have not been fun getting away with the whole truck. Just had to deal with an astral signature vial on the cargo (toss out window then change course) but that was found rather fast. I forget what exact make and model, but I want to say it was one of those secure armored cars that had isolated crew / cargo compartments, 2door front, 1 double rear. Not a true tractor trailer but large enough that it had to follow the trucking rules of the road (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) I think for our case because it was crossing boundaries they couldn't have an armed tail. Some of the details were fuzzy as this was years back (3rd btw). But I recall there was about a 15-20 mile strip which was the ideal spot to hit and there happened to be a weigh station that was down for the season. |

That only works in some provinces and territories. Ontario and Quebec have their own Provincial Police... I'm not going to comment on them.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/nyahnyah.gif) Yeah. Which is why you should do it. I'm not going to go all the way into Canada for one person I'll never be able to find.

There's little that would ever motivate me to invade or go to Canada willingly. I've been offered bribes of free vacations to go & still said no.

What's wrong with Canada? It's not like the wildlife is trying to kill you like Australia.

What's wrong with Canada? Going there would kill the dream. I imagine that right now you are reading this text using one hand to hold an ax over one shoulder while the other hand strokes your huge beard, stopping just long enough to drink some maple syrup.
Same reason people don't come to Texas. They like the idea of me going to school on a horse. |

Longer than most modern cars.QUOTE (Christian Lafay @ Nov 10 2011, 02:27 PM) What's wrong with Canada? Going there would kill the dream.

I live in a city, no need for an axe (Although I do have an Entrenching Tool for emergencies), it's just starting to be winter here so I'm just starting to grow my beard (And it does get huge), and you don't drink Maple Syrup straight.You mix 'Shine with it, or Vodka if you're one of those fancified folk. I also like it in my tea. Much healthier for you than refined sugar, especially as my Aunt knows the families that make it.

Had a friend of mine that did a lot of contract work in Texas. It's big American sedans, SUVs, Pick-Ups, and so on with bull horns on the hood, as I understand.

In tea? Never thought of that. We're honey and tea people, when it's not just iced with sugar. Now vodka is interesting since I love vodka. And yes, there are large vehicles with horns but to be fair to a stereotype I have ridden a horse to school. The battery in my car was dead and I had to get to class. School was pissed.

Like people believe that Brazil is a huge Rain Forest, that we have to run away from monkeys, we move around on vines, and our only exports are super models, hookers and soccer athletes? |

Not to overly congratulate real-life thieves, but it sounds like these "runners" pulled this one off nice and smoothly.

*Snort* Low-Grade 'Runners. At least they didn't use firearms.

QUOTE (Christian Lafay @ Nov 10 2011, 06:29 PM) So Sir Twist did this run? Possibly. Gotta pay the bills, and the payoff would be good even after taking into consideration devaluation of stolen goods and splitting the take. Yeah, this is a Twist-Style job, especially if the Johnson didn't want any deaths, and needed to make sure of that.He lost out on a lot of jobs, but the ones he did got him respect. |

That would be an interesting team, if only for fluff value, a pack of wolf-shifters. I would love to be in a group like that. Or like the game Too Human, a pack of wolves and a single bear. |

There's a pack of Wolf Shapechangers in one of my stories, and another that hasn't been seen yet.
