tis easy. too many riddles try to play off that. no mail or banks on sundays.

so here's one from me:

Richard was an unimposing man, brown hair, average height. He was never one for excitement, so it suprised everyone when he said he wanted to be a police officer. Now it was Richard's first day as a police officer, and already things were hectic. There had been a drive by shooting, and the mayor had been hurt. The police found the car, and not far from it, two crooks. "they looked like a comedy duo, one dude's so tall and the other's so short" remarked one of the officers at the scene. The two men had already been led away in squad cars. "they won't say which one was driving and which one was shooting. They didn't leave any fingerprints- both had gloves on. " Richard was glad he hadn't been there earlier. All that he had to do was clean up the scene. Forensics had already been over it.
"the keys are still in the car", said the officer "so you can just drive it back to the evidence lot." Richard got in the blue car, bent the rearview mirror down, and started driving. It was starting to get quiet, so Richard turned on the radio. It started playing a beach boys tape. Soon he was drumming his fingers on the wheel as he drove. Being a police officer wasn't that bad. Time passed so quickly he was at the station before he knew it. As the impound officer drove the car into the lot, Richard had an epiphany. He rushed into the station said "i know which one was driving!"

how did richard know? (and who was it?)
