Stupid thieves steal fake cell phones!

Call it the case of the dead cells - both telephones and the ones in the brain. Employees at a Telefonica Movistar cell-phone store in Morelia, Mexico say they arrived Tuesday morning to find that the store had been broken into.

An examination of the shop revealed the only items missing were hollow replica phones for display that are completely useless for making calls.

Employees say the clueless thieves overlooked real cell phones and cash in another part of the shop.

Store owners nonetheless reported the theft to local police, who are investigating.

Woman charged for stealing friend's birthday gifts.

Golden Gate woman was arrested Wednesday after deputies say she stole $850 worth of presents given to a friend during a birthday party.

According to Sheriff’s reports, Taylor Chee Walls, 18, 303 Burnt Pine Drive, went to Ryan Fibble’s house 3354 Timberwood Circle, on June 18, to help celebrate his birthday.

Walls asked if she could spend the night and Fibble agreed.

Reports said that when Fibble woke up the next morning, he found that Walls and all of his birthday gifts— including $300 cash— were missing from his home.

Man calls 9-1-1 to complain about McDonalds delivery.

Calling 9-1-1 from McDonald's to complain about your hamburger order, will get you a warning.

Call repeatedly, and you'll be eating in a cop car.

Listen to an edited version of the call here:

That's what happened to 23-year-old Jeremy Lloyd Martin early Friday after he allegedly called Clackamas County dispatchers several times, saying an employee at the McDonald's on Southeast 82nd Avenue at Sunnyside Road near the Clackamas Town Center had robbed him of $8 for not fulfilling his order correctly.

Martin said he gave the worker $10, but only got one burger and fries.

Martin was repeatedly warned by dispatchers that he could get arrested for misusing 9-1-1, but he did not back down.

He threatened to sue if a cop didn't arrive.

Martin got his wish and was arrested, charged with improper use of a 9-1-1 system.

Haha! What an iDiOT!

A spokeswoman for the city of Suffolk, Va., says a burglar accidentally took his own picture with a victim's cell phone while robbing an area home.

City spokeswoman Debbie George said in a statement police are looking for the individual captured in a photograph taken by a cell phone belonging to an area homeowner this month, the Newport News (Va.) Daily Press reported Monday.

George said it appeared the male suspect had been attempting to make a phone call during the home break-in and accidentally captured his own image using the device's camera function.

The unidentified suspect fled the scene, leaving the phone and its incriminating photo behind, George added.

Information regarding the identity of the photogenic criminal could be worth up to $1,000 for tipsters if their clues result in his arrest, the Daily Press reported.
