Hide the kids if you see the "Mystery Machine" in Houston
KTRK-13 ran this disturbing report recently:
Authorities were able to keep a close eye on a registered sex offender because of his attention-grabbing vehicle he drove around.
Police in Waller County say they could always keep track of Ricky Stroble's whereabouts because of his unusual van. It's a custom painted to look like the van from the Scooby-Doo cartoons. It even says "Mystery Machine" on the side.
Stroble was arrested last month of possession of child pornography charges. Stroble is now behind bars accused of videotaping a young relative in the shower. Investigators say they also found child porn on his computer.
The van is not part of that investigation.
The last line of the report is an amusing, extraneous bit of information.
Anyway, if you see a Mystery Machine van cruising near schools or parks in Houston, it's probably a good idea to hide the kids.
