The Dresden Files > DF Spoilers

Found this odd in Fool Moon

(1/3) > >>

groinkick:
When Harry was grabbing clothes from his room before rushing to the police station before Macfinn changed, he got blue coverall's with the name tag "Mike" on it.  He mentions that Mike accidentally left his coveralls in his trunk.

First I found it odd that Jim would even have something that random in there.  Second I find it odd that Mike would leave his coverall's in Harry's trunk.  Like why would he even place them in there?  I dunno it just seemed out of place to me and I felt like starting another off the wall topic lol.

Bad Alias:
The Beetle breaks down about once a week. Mike's bound to leave all sorts of stuff in the Beetle.

Wondering Wanderer:
What a coincidence that Mike just happened to leave exactly what Harry was going to need in the trunk.

Mira:
   Mike may have had an emergency of his own which required that he shed his coveralls in a hurry..  So if he was working on the beetle when the call came, that's where they got stashed...  Or Harry may have bought them at Good Will because they fit,  to keep in the car for emergencies when he finds he has literally nothing to wear.  So the name tag "Mike" is just a coincidence that it happens  also to be the name as his mechanic.   

One thing to keep in mind, Harry is six foot nine,  so unless his mechanic is also at least six foot five or so,  heavy coveralls aren't going to fit because they do not stretch..  Yes, coveralls have some give but it is usually to accommodate expanding middles as opposed to heights.

After reading more I realized it was just a plot device.  Harry needed coverall's for his janitor disguise, and that was a believable reason for why he had them.
