[19:23:13] sednet1: Was also a very very large drug bust recently...they idiots were caught with over 10 Million dollars of meth, a couple mill in cash...they had stolen somebodies phone, the cops turned on the gps remotely and busted them. My question is...if you have that much money...why steal a phone? and then USE IT! Morons abound!!!!!!!!!!

   
[19:24:04] SpecialAgentGibbs to sednet1: cops can activate the GPS even if the phone is turned OFF!

[19:24:20] sednet1 to SpecialAgentGibbs: YES!

[19:24:36] papajack: I had to get a new cell phone because I couldn't buy a battery for my old one, I said I want a phone just for calls and one that gets messages when folks call, no camera's nothing fancy. They looked at me with a look like a calf staring at a new gate, times sure have changed.

[19:25:09] SpecialAgentGibbs to papajack:

[19:26:38] choco to SpecialAgentGibbs: Lord, my fingers, are cramped writing this all down

[19:26:53] papajack: I don't even know how to turn the speaker on on the one I got.
