Well, they've certainly had a lot of time to set something like that up if they were working with somebody at one of the bowling alleys...so there's a point in that favor.
I don't think this is just about the ID, either. I'm wondering if Daniel will have lost more than that. Remember, they've got at least two video cameras...Jonas' and Daniel's. Could Daniel have taken his camera with him when he went bowling? That's something he would likely do. Could he have "lost" the memory card in addition to his ID card?
See, his fake ID isn't going to tell Oppy where Bree/Jonas/Daniel are at. But a video might.

I'm wondering, too, if he didn't drop his phone.

yes but its a fake id
out of game talk here
if the creators/PMs were going to make an id that appears fake, the would take a picture that we're all familiar with. To make it seem fake.
Dude, Imagin came in to the irc and laughed about how people were taking it seriously. Shes a regular. No worries.

RE: Talking to the bowling alley employees
They will have no idea what is going on. The drop is on the premises, usually outside. Those who work there or live in the area have no idea. And they are watched, to make sure that a gamejack, intentional or accidental, does not happen.
Asking the proprietors of the bowling alley's if they have a missing ID will only get you blank stares.

Oh...that makes sense, too.
I'm tellin' you. Oppy wouldn't care about a simple fake ID. There's something more there that he's left behind.

Per Op's PM to me, they want to find his ID so they can find the Three Stooges. Knowing which bowling alley they went to will narrow down where exactly they are. So, while there might be other objects that are included in this drop, I think we should just wait and see what we find. For all we know, it might just be the ID (and I, for one, would be pissed).

I agree with that. If anything it would be a cell phone. The signal on the vid makes me think that. Does anyone have an update on what bowling alleys have already been searched?

So, has anyone said they are heading to Ukiah? I can't wait to see what this turns out to be.

I'd concur that there's likely more here than just a meaningless lost fake id. Oppy doesn't strike me as the sort who gets obsessed about hunting down memorabilia. Even IF all that gets recovered (provdied that it does get recovered) is the ID, then that ID will have some substantial info in/on it.

Does anyone have any information on what they are searching once they get to the bowling alleys?
I am concerned that we may miss something if all they are doing is asking about the ID...
Please do not think I am being critical of the people pounding the pavement! I'm not...I think we are not giving them enough ideas or suggestions to do what they need to do!
Just sending them off seems a little foolish.

True, but usually the people who get the drops are pretty experience...so it's not like, say, ME getting sent out, lol.

They actually don't speak to anyone there. They look around outside for the drop. It can be hidden anywhere. Asking the people there for an ID that may have been left behind only raises suspicion.

Hmmm...I wonder if they should just go bowl...and look around really good. Kind of like following footsteps...etc...of Daniel. I can't see it just laying on the ground outside. I would guess either at a lane, a locker or in the bar.

i say that's good. you get drunk INSIDE a bowling alley, and where are you likely to loose something? INSIDE a bowling alley!
Btw, I say a cell being there is a good idea; how did they even know DB was there anyway?

It will be outside somewhere. There is no way for it to still be left somewhere inside the building. It will be in the parking lot, or near dumpsters, but I doubt it will be inside anywhere.
But hell, I could be wrong as usual
