Several years ago, the local authorities had a brainstorm, and painted up one of their vans to look like a local telco vehicle, and did a big bust with it. Unfortunately, the local telco knew nothing about it, and protested mightily, not wanting their workers' asses getting shot off by evil-doers. Too bad (for their drivers) that Truly Nolen didn't have the same foresight. Those bright yellow trucks are going to become easy targets.

August 10, 2005 One of Central Florida's largest pest control companies has been recruited by police to help fight crime, according to Local 6 News. Technicians from Truly Nolen Pest Control of America are being trained by local law enforcement to spot anything unusual as they visit customer's homes.
That worked out pretty well with the USPS, didn't it....
"Our vehicles really get into the bowels of the neighborhood and we're back there where all the homes are, in the cul-de-sacs," Truly Nolen spokesman Barry Murray said. "And part of being a good neighbor is looking out for one another." The pest control workers will call police if they see something unusual during their stops, according to the report.
Man, that's cutting-edge crimestopping. Does that mean that their employees were too stupid to call the cops for suspicious activity until this spiffy program enlightened them?
