    Looks like a gallon jug of used motor oil. How could someone do this? I mean literally how, what steps? Of course I’m just asking for a friend, out of idle curiosity, in an attempt to understand The Criminal Mind, you know.

      I’ve actually wondered about doing something like that with salt. Would wreck the ice still and likely much harder to catch.

        I suppose there are lots of ‘simple sabotage’ measures one could imagine. Remember in Hogan’s Heroes, they would distribute the dirt dug from the tunnels by slowly releasing it from a sack inside one’s trousers while walking about the concentration camp.

        A glycol-based antifreeze would do. Like the liquid that plow trucks spray along with the salt when it gets extra cold.

          There are trucks that spray glycol on roads but I can’t just dump my used coolant in the streets? So unfair.
