Silly Criminals

Years ago, my daughters best friend lived up the road from us a bit and the two girls spent a great deal of time together.  When I began to hear rumors of drug activity going on at the neighbors house, I restricted my daughter from going to her friends but fully allowed her friend to visit us.  The point of this was to keep both children as safe as possible until I had some sort of proof as to whether or not the information floating around town was accurate or not.

While I was still doing my *ahem* investigative research (fancy way of saying I was spying on the neighbors) I happened to get a voicemail message on my cellphone around 4 a.m. one night.  I was rather surprised to see the number belonged to Sue, the mother of my daughters friend.  I called my voicemail right away, concerned that something had happened to her daughter, Lindsay.   Turned out, Sue had accidentally hit a button on her cell and it had dialed my number without her knowing it.

For fifteen minutes, I listened to Sue and her husband, Bill discuss his irritation that she had used all of the meth. and not shared it with him.  Instead, she had shared it with a female friend of theirs.  Sue would then explain that there was no reason for him to be mad because they had made plenty and he would get his soon enough. (Yes, I was in shock and had to replay this over and over to make sure I had heard it right).  They went on to talk about where Bill had put the money (nearly 20k) and when they were going to purchase more supplies.   At the end of the fifteen minutes, there was no sound and the phone finally went dead.

Did they notice what they had done?  I have no idea and I'm not about to hunt them down and ask them...lol.  The voicemail did result in their arrest and prosecution though.  Gee, go figure.  Ya' gotta' wonder though, how many people out there doing illegal things have not locked the keypad of their cellphone, accidentally called someone, and left a very detailed account of their activities?  Silly criminals.
