A VISIT FROM FOX NEWS
Filed Under Uncategorized
We had a surprise visit from Rick Leventhal of the Fox News Channel late last year. I was with a new client on Friday afternoon when I noticed a group of people entering our spy shop showroom. (I have a one-way mirror that allows me to see the showroom from my office). Leventhal and his crew seemed very interested in some of our covert video recorders. My store Manager showed them several options including a video/audio recorder concealed in a functioning ink pen. Rick was unable to tell me what he was doing in the Detroit area or what story he was investigating. He did suggest that we watch Fox News on the following Monday. He purchased the video pen, posed for a photo with me and slipped into the crowed street.
I watched Fox News most of the day on Monday expecting to see Rick with his new spy pen capturing images of a corrupt politician, wait a minute, their all corrupt! Or perhaps he would be sitting in a bar spying on the cheating spouse of a corrupt politician. At the very least, he would be telling the world how cool his new toy was. Unfortunately, none of those scenarios became reality. In fact, I learned a few weeks later that Rick couldn’t figure out how to operate the darn thing! What’s worse is that I broke my own, set-in-stone no return policy, and let Rick return the spy pen camera for a full refund.
The story that Fox News was covering in Detroit was related to one of a dozen or so crimes allegedly involving our now former and incarcerated Mayor Kilpatrick. Frankly its not worth writing about. Lets just say that the the Mayor wont be practicing law in the near future.
