I've always suspected it. When I moved in this house some 6-years ago or so, it was kind of understood that this is an old Mafia neighborhood. The alarm system in my house is pretty cool considering it was put in sometime in the late '60s- early '70s. Motion detectors and all. I always kind of wondered if this was a Mafia house. It doesn't get talked about too much by my neighbors who have been here since the '60s. Oddly enough my neighbors knew my name before I even met them. At least it's nice to know they like me.

I noticed one of my cats really digging into a corner of my carpet. It was a little more intense than just normal play. So I walked over to see what it was he was messin' with.. And lo and behold..

It's a freaking wire tap..

Hayden told someone in the government he was living with you!

LMAO!! ;-)


But seriously, let's hope Phil isn't right! :shock:



The most obvious answer is the one you came to, that it is left over.

Here's a challenge, though I know you're busy.

There may very well be a website out there, detailing various devices for bugging, and maybe if you found one, you could date the device?


But... It's a really cool party or bar story!

How many people can say... "Same thing happened to me!"

:-D

btw...

Always the marketing guy...

You need to write a song about it. :-)

Whether it is about your cat finding the device, or whether it is generic about government wire taps and lack of freedom and such... the FACT that the song would be derived from a TRUE EVENT... you finding an actual government placed bug... would lend HEAT to the song, and fans would tell each other... "Yeah, that's a cool song, but do you know WHY Ted wrote it? Check this out, one day he saw his cat..."


Know what I mean?

You'd think they'd take the damned thing out after the house changed hands.

And we wonder where all our tax dollars go...

Craig is right. See if you can get a serial/part # off it and try and track the manufacturer. I do remember seeing a PC mic once broken apart like that however some years ago. Not saying that's what it is.

Now please turn that Friggin TV Down! :D

I started wondering if it was an LED light of some sort, because of the two wires coming out of it, but I found something a little similar, so who knows? Maybe it is from a bug after all?

Yep, I still have him. His name is Zeke. He's getting pretty big already.

He bears a striking resemblance to one of my Squiers:

You know if Zeke was a Mafia cat, he'd be a Mafia hero right now.. Let that be a lesson to any Goodfellas out there. You should always have a cat around! You never know what they'll find (plus they'll keep the birds**t off your Mark IV).

Nice one Halo. :D
Zeke is a cool name too since he Zeeked it out for you. I'm sure the Mafia are worried now. Oh what's my cat digging at? :D

Keep well Halo, nice one again pal.

Chippy.
