A suburban Chicago paper called the Daily Herald reports that some cheerleaders from Chi-Town visited Dallas recently for a competition that was held at the Convention Center. While the girls were tumbling and herky-ing on Saturday, someone stole eight bags from them that were left behind a stage. One of the girls used a laptop to track a GPS-equipped cellphone in one of the bags, but when the location of the bag was given to police, the Daily Herald reports, the cops refused to go to the area because it was “too dangerous.”
Two things: 1) when you track a phone with GPS like that, you get a rough estimate of the phone’s location. Maybe an area the size of a couple of blocks. So I’m not sure how helpful that would be to police. And 2) I don’t buy that the cops said it was “too dangerous.”
