I need to try this

If it works in New York City I bet it will work in PC.

From The Times -

"Over the years, the shack has been home to a rogues’ gallery of cast-iron characters: Guy Passant of The Times, or “Putt-Putt,” for the way he seemed to be always on the move; Vinnie Lee of The Daily News, a big man whose appetite for a good story and Heinekens was the stuff of legend; and Patrick Doyle, a k a The Inspector because of his ability to suggest when questioning rank-and-file police officers that he was a police superior, without saying so outright.

“It’s Doyle from headquarters,” was one of his true, if misleading, ways to begin a conversation. In a suit and fedora, he showed up at crime scenes for The News looking like he belonged, just another detective with work to do. “He’d just walk right past the yellow tape,” said John Kifner, 67, who worked in the shack for The Times."
