Legworkin..
I want to do some Data Searches to see if I can pull up any news/info about the original Big Rig Theft (great opportunity to accidentally stumble across Caper's death?) the business where BDLL worked before, operating cranes, and Big Daddy Long Legs, himself. I figure a shipyard? Crane operator ought to have union records..
Okay, so here's a buttload of rolls. I'm going to run it at 15 dice (6 browse +4 skill +3 nanites +2 hotsim) since I figure news and membership information shouldn't be too Obscure. BDLL himself will get 13 dice on the roll though.
Here goes:

5 minutes of search looks like it.
Next Search: Records of BDLL's pre-crash employer and who might have worked there along with him (also checking who among them still has access to a dock crane.)

Another 5 minutes to find out everything the open net says about BDLL.
OH BOY SHOPPING.
Quick question before I get my shopping list set. Could I use my Architecture skill to calculate the likely structure rating for a roof and the ceiling of a basic building?
Here is a roll: 6 Logic + 2 Cer boost + 3 Neocortical Nanites + 1 Skill
12d6.hits(5) → [1,2,1,6,3,1,5,5,6,1,6,6] = (6)nice.
This is basic shopping list though.
MCT Fly-spy - ¥2000 - unrestricted, so I'll just up to Kennedy's Cheap electronics on 16th and Baker, assuming they'd have that in stock. Otherwise, a quick trip to the Everett Beacon Mall might could do it.
Vehicle Identification Sensor Software at rating 3 - ¥600 - Unrestricted also, but I'd like to buy through my contact Ol Softy just to avoid all that corporate spyware hassle.
Ultrawideband Radar Sensor at rating 2 (assuming that 10 structure is enough to see through most roof areas where a guy could store that much hardware.) - ¥1000 - Here's the restricted gear. Going for r2 since, at that price, it takes half the time to find it. Want to get this through Mission Control.
This should hopefully give us some magic eyes once we narrow down the location.
