Stupid is as stupid does: Specifically, the Okaloosa County Sheriff’s Office, which titled its post, “Smile – Thanks to a Quick Thinking OCSO Deputy – You’re Being Facetimed Using a Stolen Phone!”
Which brings us to the case of 18-year-old Chandler Ridge Carlyle, who police say asked to borrow a man’s phone while at a friend’s house to “call for a ride home,” but forgot that “borrowing” involves returning the thing you have borrowed.
Stung by the $600 loss, the victim reported the theft to police, reports the Palm Beach Post. A deputy at first texted the stolen phone, identifying himself and demanding its return. When that didn’t work, he made a FaceTime call to the phone—and snapped a picture of the man who answered. Carlyle stands charged with grand theft.
