Romanian police caught a female mobile phone thief by dialling the stolen phone - and hearing it ringing from her bum.

Police in Lasi stopped Petronela Brandus, 24, as she tried to get off a bus after other passengers said they saw her steal a mobile phone.

But after a search failed to find the phone, police decided to call the number to see where it was and heard a muffled ringing coming from under the woman's dress.

She was taken to a local police station where a strip search by female police officers revealed she had hidden it up her bottom, local daily 7 Plus reported.

Officer Madalin Taranu said: "We've had people hiding things in their bras and panties before, but this was a new one.

"The station doctor extracted the phone and we sprayed it with disinfectant before handing it back to its owner."

I wish I could do that with some people's cell phones when they insist on having a conversation at a restaurant...

They didn't stay on the call long because the phone had crappy reception.

Good one. I wanted to stop and ask a lady if she would be able to drive better if I did that with her cell phone this past weekend. She almost hit me in a Walmart parking lot, and then bumped into my daughter's car before pulling onto the road at a stop sign.

If there ever was a time to set the ringer to "vibrate"...

Er.... I think I'd want a new phone.

Up someone's butt? Yikes, I would've had them put the phone in double wrapped plastic, then taken a hammer to it.
