I can see why they think those two cars may have been important:

drug exchange
one person is possibly a child predator
said cars had a good view of the backyard where the kid was playing
(assuming they were there at the time of the disappearance)

A snatch and grab shouldn't take more than a few seconds of a small child (it's a small window where someone has the potential to see what's happening). Most people aren't really fully alert to things going on (talking inside with the TV on and whatnot), such as cars driving by, even in rural areas. Car drives off to wherever.

Loose lips will sink that case if it's criminal IMO.

Having some red peppers and hummus for lunch. I was drinking coffee and had to stop because it was upsetting my stomach.

Too many cups of coffee and too many Cokes make my stomach run. Rapidly. I can hardly make it beyond the wall.

I can smell my armpits (but they don't stink!). This usually doesn't happen. :?

"Aux port" is probably pronounced like "oh porr" which reminds me that I should learn more French.

I've tried to learn both German and Spanish now, Spanish in highschool and German in college, to no real success. My problem was the classes try to teach how to socialize in these tongues not just teach the base language, surprise surprise, I couldn't do it. I think the only people who think English is such a hard language to learn are people who speak a romance language as a native language since all the romance languages are quite similar and therefore are super easy to go between.

Could imagine learning English is difficult for many Asian speakers also...
I know Chinese and Japanese aren't super-intuitive if you only know English. At the same time a lot of it has to the with the amount of characters, not the language itself.

It must be truly frustrating for Chinese kids to learn three systems at the same time: traditional characters, phonetic Chinese and then the English way of using the alphabet. I don't envy those kids.

Yeah, a lot harder. Because the grammars of Korean are opposite to that of English. I thought that Koreans are in the most difficult linguistic background to learn English..yeah probably Japanese are in the same hard situation to learn English as well, as they have sort of similar grammar structures to Korean's.

The one thing I do hate about people at work knowing I have Asperger's is - before they knew, they considered me a brilliant computer programmer.

Now, I think they just consider me as someone who's only good at programming because he's got Autism.

That's not right.
