It took us nearly three hours to track the next two limos and mark down their destinations Despite our fears that ouldn’t knohich cars were illusions if they went inside a parking garage or other covered structure, the ASE trackers swooped inside the decks to ht I wondered if the tiny marble-like devices interfered with aircraft, or if no around They were probably charnore the about it
