Brief Plot

Two guys steal a valuable box of computer chips after one hides in the back of a truck overnight. Soon after, they are involved in an accident, and an old lady sees the guy in the back. The investigation is made harder because the brother of one of the robbers has hacked the CHP computer, affecting searches, paychecks and Ponch's "little black book".

Great Quote

"It's more than I usually get, closer to what I deserve."
