#1 They were probably waiting for a phone call, maybe to tell them where they were working that day. A lot of them are drywall artists or rough carpenters. They share apartments to live cheap, and often don't have phones.

I feel for them. Most of them are honest and very hard-working.

#2 Sounds like a couple of small-time opportunists (unconnected with the shooter(s)) saw a little blackmail opportunity, no? Moose's cryptic comment this morning could be meant to give the losers the idea that their loot was being assembled.

#3 The radio sez it was an illegal Mexican and Guatamalan, probably just in the wrong place at the wrong time. They're being turned over to INS and Chief Moose sez for the real Bad Guy to call back.

That poor man must be dying from frustration...

#4 That's a real honkin' extreme case of being in the wrong place at the wrong time... and in the wrong car, too. Still, odds are you're right.

#5 I figured a Mexican connection from the video shot of the rear window where there was a Mexican flag sticker. Even so, how come that phone was being staked out? Was it the number Moose was asking the perp to call? What kind of credibility does the Chief have know? "Gee, sorry, didn't know where those guys in black came from, must've been that honkie Sherrif down in Henrico County".
