Rob Ford's Toronto

This one is the most "natural" in terms of how the plates look.

Love this quote:

"He cut a lonely figure - just weeks after he drunkenly claimed he was 'in a divorce' - although two clinic workers watched over him.
They later chased photographers with planks of wood and threw stones at them."

With pictures of just that, a guy in a hoodie with the hood up, sunglasses on, holding a 2 x 4 and running with a weird little grin.

Why do I sudden urge to watch reruns of Monty Python?

I still think di Giorgio was checking Rob out for a mickey of Iceberg.

Isn't that how they check for wires in the movies?

Looks a bit shopped... The letters should be blue, but maybe it's the lighting. I hope CityNews know what they're doing and aren't being punked.

I think... that he hid the car so that it wasn't spotted at Greenestone - who claimed that his car was not on the premises.

If that poor car could only talk.

They treat it like a rented mule.

A bird just let go all over my windshield. It's still better than watching Lisi & Rob whiz. #EscaladeSecrets #TOpoli

Probably taken with a camera that has on-camera flash. License plates are retro-reflective, so light that shines on them reflects back towards the source of the light. When you take a flash photo like this, the reflective surface tends to glow very brightly.

Taking a photo with a flash moved further from the camera would dampen this effect.

If you want to leave your car in a place where it will go unnoticed, seems pretty dumb to leave it on a dirt road somewhere - imagine the headlines had the car been found before we knew where he was: "Rob Ford escapes rehab, ditches escalade in woods"

 

[casita]

^ There's got to be an interesting story to go with that parked in forest pic.

"So who the heck is the person/persons swinging those pieces of wood?? Rehab security? Rob's own security?"

"Two people were watching over Ford - and one chased the photographers with planks of wood"

For $100,000, I'd expect a better class of security guard.

If he wasn't so secretive, I don't doubt he would be entitled to an around-the-clock TPS security detail.
