Texas thieves make off with $50,000 in cell phones from tmobile storeIn another high-stakes mobile phone heist, three “strapped” hoodlums forced a T-mobile Store in Fort Bend, Texas to open up the in-store safe to get at the “good phones.” FortBendNow reports that the motley-trio made off with the CCTV tapes and about $50,000 (retail price) worth of mobile phones from the store.

The good news is that the phones’ serial numbers can be easily tracked by T-mobile’s meticulous system, so the street price for these phones is not even close to $50K.

Local cops are searching for the Asian, Indian, and Hispanic culprits in this melting-pot of a gang. The images were lifted from a single remaining security tape that the retarded thieves failed to thieve. These guys are as screwed as they dumb. Maybe they can pull a “Paris Hilton” and try to get out on house arrest.

    who ever wrote this story is stupid. Yall should really get the story right because they didnt get any of the tapes for one thing because there were no tapes. If you didnt know t-mobile has the cameras that are recording to go all into the computer….so get it right.
