The van was a newer smaller van like a Caravan or something. I came upon them when just leaving my block and saw the giant glowing LCDs from the rear-the windows were not tinted in the rear. Then I noticed all the antennas. most of them only about 5" tall, a couple maybe 14". Mostly straight wire antennas (no loading). I was just kidding about the Feds. Hopefully they would be more discrete, and doubtfully they have that kind of budget for local recon, also fed/cop vehicles are usually clean. This van was in need of a wash. Also doubtful it would be war-drivers/hackers/kids because of budgetary reasons. Most likely Microsoft or someone doing some mapping or something. I was just curious if anyone else had seen something like this as they stuck out like a sore thumb even after dark. ~J _____ From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Ken Sent: Wednesday, February 08, 2006 4:05 PM To: SeattleWireless Talk List Subject: Re: Suspicious Van Did it look like this? http://www.engadget.com/2005/04/06/custom-wardriving-van-for-sale-on-ebay/ -Ken On 2/8/06, Jason Feeser <[email protected]> wrote: I saw a suspicious van hauling ass through my dead end street last night. It was Green and had fake wood panels on the sides... last three of license plate xxx-TOY (Washington) Also had many many antennas on the roof (like 15 or so--all mag mount omnis mostly small) and, two flat panel ~19" lcd monitors mounted for viewing in the back seat. There was a guy sitting in the back seat tending the equipment, and the driver (not sure about a third possible passenger) in the front. If they were mapping they were hauling ass to do it... 40mph down the side streets. I had to try hard to keep up so I could get more of a glimpse of what they were up to... Any thoughts or are the feds after me????
