A number of years ago my CAP Ground DF search team tracked a stolen
aircraft ELT (distress beacon) to a shed in a backyard. When the County
Sheriff's Detective arrived he knew the people who lived there. After
talking with the property owner the shed was searched and a quantity of
stolen aircraft parts were found including an actively transmitting ELT.
The detective came out of the shed with a grin on his face that wouldn't
quit. Said this was the easiest case he had ever worked. The ground team
tracked the ELT for several hours following it as the crooks moved their
loot several times.
