when i am or my friend is working late, especially on weekends at his shop, auto service business. the cops regularly stop and talk to us and ask for ID when they see us working at odd hours.

A LONG time ago, my friend and I rented storage bins at a place that was in a secluded area, way out of town. The property owner gave us permission to work on our cars as long as we didn't completely strip a car out or have stuff pile up outside.

We often worked late at night just for the simple fact it was cooler out. Cops would come by and ask questions, which wasn't a problem, but after a while, it got to be borderline harassment.

Come to find out many years later, about the same time we were out there, someone was dumping bodies less than 1/4 mile away. I sometimes wonder if it was happening while we were out there, or better yet, while the cops were harassing us.

They still haven't identified all of the bodies.
