Used that to aid when we heard something on the scanner. Nobody ever
caught on. Unmarked were usually plain Fords or Chevys.

"Unmarked" cars are usually so easy to spot, I wonder why the fuzz even bother with them. Anything with plain steelies and no rub strips on the front doors is going to raise a red flag with the baddies.

We had a handheld scanner in '92 or so, fun thing to play with and listen to.

Hm, I hadn't seen a Toro quite like that one. It's quite a fly ride and probably a lot more powerful than later models. Much like a Caddy but with less bling which is how I like 'em. However, Coach Buttermaker's '72 Fleetwood Eldorado convertible had a certain charm, part of it being the duct tape holding the passenger door shut.
