Social-engineering a cellphone thief

An Ohio teen whose cellphone was ripped off called the number, found herself speaking to the thief's girlfriend, and social-engineered her into giving up the crooks' address, busting a notorious cellphone-stealing ring in the process.

'Crystal? Tiffany? Jenn,' the voice asked.

'Uh, it's Tiffany,' Dempsey said.

'Hey, girl,' the voice said.

'I haven't seen you in, like, forever.'

'I can come right over,' Dempsey said. 'Tell me where you are.'
