GREAT NEWS!     I hope the ride is no worst for the ordeal.

One little word of advice.........Have the "Constabulary", do a
drug/contraband sweep, and give you a statement of clearance. Not much
telling what those mutts may have stashed in a cubby hole. I know of a case
where a car was stolen and recovered, then later during a normal pull over
something was found, and while the victim was not charged.....things were
uncomfortable for a while, lots of sideways looks, an all you long hairs are
the same, type statements!

Just an old "Hippies" warning.

Howard
