We're pretty careful about smuggling any booze around here, you know, Professor, so I asked around, thinking maybe a trooper on our side or mebbe one of the Mounties on this side would have seen or heard a motorcycle. "A trooper on our side of the line heard a motorcycle about two o'clock yesterday morning.
