2032. 2032. I'm in the rear parking lot near California. I got a silver gray Honda Odyssey here parked. Can I drop the plate in the box? Yeah, and what rear parking lot are you at, California and Newark?

Yes, it's a Honda Odyssey. Okay, blue, silver, grayish, Honda Odyssey. 2006 Adam. 2006 Adam. We're at the school right now. We're going to take a look at the photos of this van, and then if we get anything, we'll send it out. Sounds good.

024. 024. Yeah, after looking at Heather's cameras, it doesn't seem like it was happening close to the building. It seemed that the majority of the activity was happening closer to Peterson between Richmond and California.

For those of you who don't see anything – this app is at least a half an hour behind.

They allow it because Mather doesn’t give a damn about students being of good character. Many students are illiterate. Many students smoke in bathrooms. No one actually does anything about it though. Mather does not hold anyone to a high standard. The two men were likely Mather students, I wouldn’t be surprised if that were the case
