    I make it a practice to sleep in gym shorts and a t-shirt when I'm in a hotel.

    3 properly aimed warning shots might have caused them to drop the cat and pick up their feet.
    You wouldn't have had to worry about trying to wake anybody else up OR get the front desk to call the LEOs.

    However (comma!) it's probably best to just let them go.
    Motels are a bad place to uncork a firearm and unless the van comes from or is going to Caly....it's a $200 crime.

    The fact that they easily got away with it will lead to MORE $200 crimes, but that's the price of "progress."

    Actually that’s a very good idea thank you. You never know if you have to do a quick skedaddle.

    I thought our trip was doomed lol….but no other events happened.

    A friend up there turned me on to the best travel app ever. It’s called WAZE.
    Warns of everything ,roadblocks ,traffic ,accidents, dead animals in the road, and hidden cops. Plus the best routes. Saved me a few times. It’s really awesome.Never even needed my radar detector.

    Other WAZE users contribute along the route. It’s remarkable.

    but I hijacked this thread so sorry I’m out.

    Waze was purchased by Google some years back. They still maintain the distinct user interfaces, but the underlying data ought to be shared by now.
