I always have said if you want the Urbandale police to respond quickly, keep a bottle rocket handy.

Call them, wait for hours.

Light the bottle rocket, they'll be there within 15 minutes.

I know this because I was in a car that this happened to 3 years ago.

True....when I was 16, I was informed by a kind officer that having the floorboard in the back level to the seat with beer cans gives them probably cause to search the trunk. Glad he didn't, cause there was a case on ice back there.

wow... we have a crew down in southern iowa go and get my family like at least $300 worth of fireworks down to missouri.. hell then i go up to Sioux Falls and get another 300 dollars worth.. so if any of you are at Twin Lakes for the 4th we'll cause some trouble... i actually lit some off with the DNR so they don't care too much... just don't shoot them at them... buddy of mine learned that the hard way....
