|desc=Phil's directions lead you to a commercial district, a strip of concrete castles filled with car parts, lumber, plumbing, industrial blinds, office furniture, and the like. An erratic humming sound draws your attention to a stooped figure slowly moving down the sidewalk. It takes a moment in the dark for you to piece together the scene: it's an old woman rolling a car tire.

You're not quite sure what to make of it when she stops rolling the tire and, displaying a surprising amount of strength, picks it up and hurls it through the plate glass window of a store front. You certainly didn't see ''that'' coming.

You approach the old lady and ask her what she's doing. "Well, it's like that commercial they always play. They said if I didn't like it, I can bring it back."

"I'm pretty sure that's just a metaphor. You're not really allowed to throw the tire through the window."

"Oh, really, do you think so? I feel so silly now."

You suggest that maybe the lady should come back in the morning and offer to pay for the damages, and she sweetly agrees.

You radio back to Phil and tell him this one was definitely a false positive. He takes some notes and says he'll make adjustments.

''If this is your 1st or 2nd adventure of the day:''

Phil thanks you for your help and allocates a credit to your account. He says he'll keep adjusting the equipment, and call as soon as he detects another impending incident.

''If this is your 3rd adventure of the day:''

Phil thanks you for your help and allocates a credit to your account. He says he's done for the night, but to check back in tomorrow if you want to keep helping.
