It’s for You, It’s the Police
Cell phones are a miracle of technological ingenuity, aren’t they? We can receive and make phone calls from just about any point in the globe (that manage to get a signal that lasts longer than a second) that sound just as clear as a land telephone line (that is if your land telephone line features whole blocks of static and interuptions that make you sound like Billy from “Cuckoo’s Nest”) and for only a small amount of money (if you’re Bill Gates). Here’s yet another example of their usefulness…
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) - A robber demanded his victim’s wallet and car keys, then dumped him in the trunk of his car and withdrew cash with his bank card early Sunday, police said.
Martino Williamson is wishing he had taken Ira Sully’s cell phone, too.
Sully called police from inside the trunk and described the car and Williamson, who was caught a short time later when an officer matched him and the car to Sully’s description, police said in a report.
Man, that’s bad. The only way it could be worse is if he tried to steal the car without taking his keys during the hold up.
Police charged Williamson with aggravated robbery, kidnapping and operating a cell phone while driving a motor vehicle.
Of course, this begs the inevitable question: how the hell did this guy get a signal from the trunk of his car when I can’t get one from my front door?
