Damn I used to love those books as a kid - I presume you mean Alfred Hitchcock presents... The 3 Investigators? I should have the entire series up to about number 30 in a box in an attic, I so wanted my parents to own a junk yard!!ShotYourSix wrote:

Yeah.....that's the series! I've spent several hours randomly over the last few years trying to remember the name but I could not come up with it until a lucky google search finally hit it a few weeks ago. That was an awesome series of stories to read as a kid. That whole junkyard hidehout was SO cool! I think I was in fifth or sixth grade (~1975) when I started reading them (I used to read them under the blankets with a flashlight after bedtime) and they probably had a lot to do with my curious nature even today Great stories for a young and inquisitive mind if any of you have children that age.....IG-Calibre wrote:
