I stumbled across these guys alongside a railroad track in Cantonblanca, Missouri. I asked them what was going on and they said there had been a hit and run in front of Rick's Cafe and there was some question as to whether it was truly an accident. Captain Renault had picked up the usual suspects and brought them in for a lineup. They had been grilled by the authorities and left to wait on a siding until the culprit was identified. That day never came. I heard one of the say "Play It Again, Sam," as I walked off. They were an odd lot to say the least.

Think of the impact on photography - were there no 'ODD THINGS' to stumble upon... Great find!

Obviously the blue one is the culprit - still trying to hide. Good shot Tick - I suppose you thanked them and received hostile stares in return.

A used car lot? Thought they were "pods" in the thumbnail. Nicely detailed. Interesting title.

If you could have suspect #3 roll forward and flash it's headlights, please.
An interesting line up, Tick. Good textures, colours and details in the photo. Very nice work and narrative.

Tick - The blue is too obvious, so it isn't the culprit. I'm going with the second one; it's missing metal center stripe, lost in the scuffle, is the giveaway. Book em, Louis! Great find and capture! Thad

Those are some great looking grills, but they don't compare with THIS GRILL! Of course, the rust color does have a certain appeal! Nice work, Tick.

One of your best narratives, TicK, and a dandy of a photo. I wander for miles and have never seen anything quite like this. Actually change that to remotely like this. Love the colors in this - especially all of that glorious rust. You are quite the wordsmith and manged to unloads half a dozen puns in your narrative. You could have titled this shot "See no evil, see no evil, see no evil" since someone absconded with their eyes.

The one in the background did it !!!
The bluest of them all. Too obviously blue and shining.
We, the secret agents, should know something about it. Ha!
Funny enough, dear SAT, please notice how the people enjoy the shorter [shortest] of your narratives ...
LOL
Great shot and even equally great narrative.
