Ok, great!
That's what I see as being the most likely scenario. A $10.00 phone that ended up in the bottom of the lake...
But....can't they trace the phone where it was bought? It would require going through surveillance video. Hope they've either done it or the store keeps video surveillance for a while.
I guess it would depend on where it was purchased. I know I shop quite a bit at Family Dollar, and occasionally at Dollar General, and being in different stores and in different towns, I have never noticed cameras. But, then again, I don't look for things like that!
And we still don't know anything about the outside warrant/NCIC hit, either.
I did look up "roving gangs" in Kansas City and they are currently having problems with gypsies. I live in FL and many of the roving gangs originate here. However, their main thing is bashing in car windows in parking lots and grabbing purses and valuables left in the car. They can be rather brazen (they broke into a car 10 yards from me in a parking lot). But I haven't heard of them stealing dogs or murdering anyone. But.....who knows. They have gotten to be quite sophisticated with the thefts. Renting nice SUVS so they blend in. They hand off purses to waiting cars. They'll write a stolen check and go through the bank drive thru bank before anyone knows their purse has been stolen. They'll also back into a parking space and wait and watch. Escape is quick because they back into spaces.
