That apartment complex right next to the church's chicken used to be full of druggies when I was in high school 10 years ago. If it hasn't gotten cleaned up someone there is probably trying to get money for their fix.

Cell phones are for people that think they are very important in life.

Keep an eye out on Craigslist, because they will probably be selling them soon. These people have to make money quick, since they have to wait for their 6k income tax return!! Then it's party time in S.A.!! New shoes, flat screens, and Rims!!

Why steal them when you can get a free Obama Phone? All you have to do is be on welfare.
