TROY, Mich. - Some drive-through customers at a Burger King are getting more with their meals than they expected.

Police in the north Detroit suburb are looking for someone who is using a device to broadcast on the same frequency as a Burger King drive-through speaker, The Detroit News reported Thursday.

2. That joker is easy to find.
