They could read the sign and they boosted the mobiles.

Not sure how they inventory their phones but hopefully they know what phones and their serial numbers were jacked....

Turn the phone on and it can be traced...

Martin Luther King Drive in SW Atlanta. Think Afghanistan with a Burger King and a package store. :-)

Thieves would come out ahead just clearing out the accessory shelves/racks and selling that stuff on eBay/Craig’s list.

Turn the phone on and it can be traced...

And if you bought a new phone on E-Bay at a nice price, it might get traced back to YOU!
