Sex offender owns 'Scooby-Doo' theme van

(2/07/07 - KTRK/WALLER COUNTY, TX) (KTRK) -- Authorities were able to keep a close eye on a registered sex offender because of his attention-grabbing vehicle he drove around.

Police in Waller County say they could always keep track of Ricky Stroble's whereabouts because of his unusual van. It's a custom painted to look like the van from the Scooby-Doo cartoons. It even says "Mystery Machine" on the side.

Stroble was arrested last month of possession of child pornography charges. Stroble is now behind bars accused of videotaping a young relative in the shower. Investigators say they also found child porn on his computer.

The van is not part of that investigation.
