Remember that scoop a little while back when AP finagled some stupid-sounding quotes out of obviously not-the-shiniest-gun-on-the-rack Levi Johnston, father of Bristol Palin's bebbie? And everyone chuckled and thought, "Who let Beavis here give an interview when Sarah Palin's brood is protected tighter than an endangered species list in Wasilla?"

Welp, there is only way to report up in Alaska, and that's the old fashioned way. With misdemeanor stalking:

Johnston was spending most of his time at the Palin compound. But that was protected by the Secret Service, so the place was off limits.
(Adam) Goldman repeatedly went to Johnston's home in Wasilla. No luck.
He identified the homes of Johnston's buddies and went there. No luck.
He pulled speeding and hunting tickets, learned the make and model of Johnston's truck and went back to the house in Wasilla. Still not there.
Then, as Goldman left the neighborhood, he spotted the truck, quickly went back to the house and found Johnston in his driveway.

That's a lot of trouble to go hunt down the high-school dropout. Couldn't Goldman just have circled around the 7-11 selling oregano in plastic baggies? Last time I checked, that was still the foolproof way to attract kids like Levi.
