Ugh, a public apology for the way these links turned out. I've
corrected them above (I think).

Hmm, that might be it. There *is* a white motorcycle (but only one) in
the mixed lot of parts. I have a feeling that I've probably extracted
all of the complete or nearly complete sets from this lot, but it's
bothersome to have a decorated piece and not to know where it came
from. Thanks for the reference!

| (...) After a bit of investigating, the only set I know of to have had a 1x2 White brick with POLICE printed in black would be set 6522. There may have been other sets with this piece, but I could find any. (URL) Salm__ (27 years ago, 17-Apr-00, to lugnet.town)
