    There was so much static I couldn't understand what was being reported. You'd think in this day and age clear signals would be a no brainer.

    ... sorry, it's rare that I'm going to take these alerts seriously...

    Nine time out of ten, he's just fed up with being jerked around by the ex-wife and court system and just wants to be with his kid...

    The really dangerous ones (i.e. powell) don't really give you time for the amber alert.
