Earlier in the week, we had an incident of an adult Hispanic male, with the requisite neck tattoos, walking through our neighborhood talking on a cell phone, in what a number of neighbors described as a suspicious manner. In full disclosure, I did not see the individual, though I was at home at the time.
Within 5 minutes, he comes blazing through our neighbor's backyard, jumps our fence, runs through our garden, jumps the gate, runs down the driveway across the street past a neighbor and over her backyard fence and down the hill towards a wooded area.
My wife, armed at the time with my dinner: shish kabobs on 2' metal skewers; by our BBQ grill, told me about it, moments afterwards. So I go charging down the hill to find out what was going on. I met up with three neighbors and we scoured the area around our homes and then decided to report the incident to the police.
Fast forward to today. My wife is in her garden, trimming the rose bush adjacent to the entry point where the fence jumper landed from the top of the 7' fence, and lo and behold, there is a cell phone under the bush. The screen was broken and it had been soaked by the sprinkler every day for the past 4 days. We called the local PD and turned it in. Needless to say, the chip will identify the calls and possibly the owner of the phone, be it stolen or the actual perp's phone.
So, if you plan on trespassing through neighborhood yards, be sure not to drop your cell phone on your way through. :wink:
