That's impressive that the landscaper (apparently) taught the phone how to do that. :) (checked - yeah the story has it that way)

The search for a man who investigators say went on a crime spree in Shelby County is over after he reportedly used a stolen cell phone to call his parole officer.
Timothy Key, 21, was arrested Tuesday. He’s charged with a number of things including aggravated robbery.
We first told you about Key last week when police say he stole a grey Dodge Challenger from a Northeast Memphis home around 7 a.m. That incident was caught on surveillance video.
Investigators say Key drove to a Cordova neighborhood hours later where he shot at a woman while she was holding her 5-month-old baby. Police say the victim ran to confront him after she saw him steal her purse from her car.
Another incident happened earlier in the morning at a home on Fallstone Road in Southeast Shelby County. Deputies say Key robbed two landscapers at gunpoint. They say he took cash and one of the victims’ phones before driving off in that same Dodge Challenger. Deputies also say he fired a shot at the victims during the incident.
Deputies tracked the stolen Challenger to a field near Mount Moriah and Hickory Hill Road. The vehicle was abandoned but the landscaper’s phone was laying the grass nearby.
Deputies say Key used the stolen phone to call his parole officer before visiting his parole office that same day. Investigators haven’t said much about what happened after that but the discovery helped them take Key into custody without incident.
Key is a convicted felon who deputies say pled guilty to aggravated robbery in 2018. He’ll answer for his current charges when he faces a judge Thursday.
It’s amazing what new-fangled phones can do thesw dats.
I daresay NASA is not missing any rocket scientists..

You mean like spellcheck?

LOL - they can do everything!
Even landscaping!
Is it a blessing that we have dumb criminals? If they were intelligent, would we just not know they are criminals, because they wouldn’t get caught? Or would they be less likely to commit the crimes? Innately, man has potential to be wholly evil or good. Looks like this one is dumb and evil.
Looks like Obama’s son.
And yet with some of the proposals floating around you will be part of the reparations paying crowd enabling middle-age Tim to retire before ever holding a job so he can continue these type of pursuits.
Which is why cell phones should come with a warning label.
Wow! He’s a black guy, well I never.
Nice catch, I missed that. Maybe that one coffee a day thing is catching up with me...
It’s easier to spot those when it’s not one that we have made.
I’ll type something, post (sometimes without previw) and then.....GROAN.
Oops.
I was also thinking, you know, if Obama had a son, he would look just like him. Wonder when Obama will be claiming him, too?
Who does he think he is? George Floyd?
He pointed a gun at a pregnant women in Texas during a home robbery and now he is a saint.
