For those of you that read my post last month "Ankle Adornment", I mentioned a young man who came into the store I work in with a radio tracking device on his ankle, probably due to some legal problems he had in the past.

He came back into the store this evening, without (it appeared) the device. I was curious to ask him what had happened to the anklet, but I did not of course. How does one start that conversation? "Hello stranger, I was watching you the last few times you were in the store and saw that you had a radio tracking device on your ankle. Did you complete the terms of your parole, or did you cut it off with a hacksaw this morning?" Nah, I'll have to be satisfied with my imagination.
