Stupid criminal alert: Alleged thief leaves cellphone at scene

There is at least one area where Jay Leno and I are alike -- we both love stupid criminal stories. :-)

An AP newswire article, via The Globe and Mail, reports that:

A teenager accused of taking part in a string of automobile burglaries in Fort Smith (Arkansas) made it easy for police to find him. He left his cellphone behind.

At least eight vehicles were broken into over the weekend in a Fort Smith neighbourhood, and several mo-peds also were stolen.

As police combed through one of the burglarized vehicles, officers found a cellphone that did not belong to the vehicle owner. The phone traced back to Brian Lee Scott Elliot, 18, of Fort Smith, Detective Ron Lockhart said.
