Have You Seen These 2, Who Allegedly Swiped A Cell Phone?

NATICK, MA—"Any of us are capable of placing a phone down and forgetting that we have done so," wrote Natick police on their Facebook page. "Beyond the replacement costs which can now run over $1000, there’s the content that may not be recoverable. Our lives are on our phones. The loss of a phone does not alter the life of the report taker, but they understand it’s more than inconvenient to the reporting party."

But that's what police are saying occurred, according to surveillance. In a store, a woman points to the counter so the employee will look away, while the man with her grabs the cell phone and throws it in the bag.

After paying cash for their goods they calmly walk away, police said.

"The person who lost the phone returned moments later only to find that those who came behind her were not kind. We would love to have this pair ask us if we had something better to do. We could explain that because of them, this is what we do." Anyone who can assist with the identification is asked to contact the Natick Police Department Detective Division at: 508-647-9520.
