Surely the point is that the OP couldn't possibly have known what the authority thought about their painted stones, unless:

  1. they had a personal contact, which is quite the omission

or

  1. the authorities were putting up posters around town, interviewing door-to-door etc

Cops going around and asking about purple rocks would cause a tiny stir. A kid would be aware of that and entertained. This is pre- internet and It's Soviet culture. I'm not supporting the Soviets, but people talked to each other, which is generically quite positive.

Ok, I guess this is a matter of opinion, but 'cops going around asking people about some purple rocks' just doesn't pass the sniff test for me
