Kevin Poulsen, SecurityFocus 2003-11-12

In a rare wireless hacking prosecution, federal officials this week accused two Michigan men of repeatedly cracking the Lowe's chain of home improvement stores' nationwide network from a 1995 Pontiac Grand Prix parked outside a suburban Detroit store.

I have another question to ask, one that even Kevin Poulsen will attest to. What if a suspected person is a ham radio operator???

I haven't met a ham radio operator that DOES NOT HAVE LESS THAN 3-4 antennas on the top of their vehicle. If I were smart, I'd tell the local PD that I was participating on one of the local "fox hunts" (a direction-finding "hide and go seek", with radios, which is very popular in several states, including California, Georgia, several NE states, Illinois, et. al). If that doesn't work, say that you're getting interference from something locally, and are communicating with some of the other ham radio operators to triangulate the source of interference (make sure that you do indeed have some friends who can vouch for you in your activities). ;)
