Rich guy pays someone to drive his Alpha Romeo so it looks used.

Pre-fab graffiti for unimaginative kids  

Stockhausen (Gesang)

"The Snooper" bugging device

Hung up on electronics as a kid. Builds radios, then amplifier.
Speaking of terrible feedbacks, this is WOR

had 3 or 4 microphones, loved to hear his amplified voice!
PA system in stadium - first words "Welcome to Kiwanis"

Lays wire down driveway to Bruner's house. Another around the other way.
Listening in on the neighbors! A giant mosaic of life!

He was stunted from heavy headphones! Mom would grab them and twist them!
Then she listens in! "What is this?" Makes him pull in all the wires.

Later that night, he has hidden more mics around town. Less noise at night, but more meat!

5 nights later, at 11:30, hears mom and old man talking dirty! He's scarred!
