A man who handed police several stolen smart phones and suggested they “call his
house and get the rest’’ after he could only pay half of a $23.50 taxi fare was
charged with felony theft when the cabbie drove him to a north side police
station.
The driver walked into the station at 850 W.
Addison St. about 5 a.m. Sunday and told police his fare, Alejandro Galeana, was
refusing to pay a $23.50 bill.
.Officers approached
Galeana, 27, of the 5800 block of North Broadway, and told him to exit the cab
and when he did, they saw two cell phones in his hand. An officer asked Galeana
if he had the cash to pay his fare, but could only come up with $12, so he told
officers to “call his house and get the rest’’.
Galeano then pulled out a third phone saying: “Here – call’’ .
The taxi driver took off after getting the $12 and said the rest
was a loss. But as police continued talking with Galeano,
they found that the man had two additional phones.
Police turned on the
phones and discovered that the boyfriend of a woman who was the owner of the
phone had called that number. Police then were able to speak with him and found
out that the woman had been at a bar earlier when her phone was stolen by
someone who had bumped into her.
Several of the other phones
had messages on them listing a separate phone number to call if the stolen
phones were found.
Galeana was arrested at 5:20 a.m. Sunday at the police
station and charged with four counts of felony theft, for stealing four phones
from four different people.
He stole the phones from
people at the Red Ivy Chicago Sports Bar, 3519 N. Clark St, and the Big City
Tap, 1010 W. Belmont Ave.

How do you keep Hispanics from stealing your cellphones???? Put them on the top shelf. :-)
Do what the Israelis do and use them as weapons. Get a couple of them cheap, pack with a low grade explosive or corrosive. Flash around in public as a decoy so some shithead steals it, then trigger the thing by calling the preset number.
Hahahahaha, suprise asshole.
