So we called in the gym of the ball club at that time, and ricky took it seriously. Turned it over to the fbi. And they have a guy that was my height and size and wore my close, and he took my place in the cab and went through the whole operation. And they left the money, actually the money wasnt there, but it looks like money, and they had a device on there, a homing device.
