If Only I was a Fed

We get some good viewer tips in the newsroom. Here's why. For some reason, when you call information in Charlotte and ask for 'the news station', they always direct them to our assignment desk. If you ask for Channel 9 or Channel 3 news, people get us. I suppose that's because we are listed under News14Carolina, and the other folks are listed under their call letters. Anyway, a viewer called us today and said the FBI was carrying a bunch of stolen stuff out of someone's house on the east side. We roll over there, and sure enough dozens of feds were carting things out of two houses next door to each other. Each of them had big assed storage units full of shoes, televisions, shoes, freezers, microwaves, a few plasma televisions, and a bunch of other things you could sell for a bunch of money. Evidently these folks were buying these things with rubber checks, or stealing them from delivery vehicles. They are now in prison. The Feds weren't saying much(big shocker) but we should know more tomorrow.
