Better yet, just move them to a city bus and let them think you are slowly circling the city all day.

It would be better to put them on a school bus so the government will see it sitting near a school in the afternoon and know how much he cares about the children.

Also see you stop at house by house in the morning and afternoon. THEN sit at a school. You may be onto something there!

I use the hammer on wheel weights. I make sure they're magnetic and then stick my phone mount to them. Pokemon Go thinks I'm a step master!
