Me too! thing never made a peep! I look up and there is a RCMP car coming through the ditch at me, I pulled over he comes up gives me the ticket. I threw the detector in my closet and its probably still there.

I got pulled over doing the speed limit...
officer says... "Sir, can you give me your radar detector please."
me - "I don't have a radar detector officer, you must be mistaken"
officer - "Sir, I detected your radar detector with the radar detector detector."
me (shitting pants) "here you go!"
He let me off but he took the radar detector and made me drive over it. he picked me out of a line of cars which amazed me... it was not in the window so they must have a way of figuring it out. The last thing I wanted was for him to impound the car or do a search.
I'd consider using one again but I think they give you a false sense of security.. They might save you on a busy road when they are bouncing signals off lots of cars but they wont save you when your hauling it down a back road.... jammer might work though.
