A million dollar Ferrari, Homeland Security, and the San Gabriel Valley

The San Gabriel Valley is a nice place, and much better than the more famous San Fernando Valley. However, it's a bit sleepy and there is no critical infrastructure there that I know of. Which makes this story quite a bit odd:

As sheriff's detectives investigate last week's crash that destroyed a $1-million Ferrari, they are now looking into an obscure nonprofit organization that provides disabled people with transit in the San Gabriel Valley.

The car's owner, a former video game executive from Sweden, told Los Angeles County sheriff's deputies at the scene of the Feb. 21 accident in Malibu that he was deputy commissioner of the San Gabriel Valley Transit Authority's police anti-terrorism unit, detectives said Thursday.

A few minutes after the crash, two unidentified men arrived at the scene, flashing badges and saying they were from "homeland security", according to Sheriff's Department officials.

Deputies allowed the men into the accident scene, where they spoke to Stefan Eriksson before leaving, Sgt. Phil Brooks said.

The DUmmies do some investigating and find some interesting things.
