Mum's phone call costs burglar dearly

[Jazzy]

A burglar who left his phone behind was rumbled when his mum rang just as police officers arrived at the house he'd just robbed.

Derek Codd, 19, left his mobile on the kitchen sideboard after he and sidekick Kristen Rynearson stole jewellery from a house in Palm Beach County.

When an investigators were called to the house, the discarded phone rang, the officer picked it up and saw 'Mom' lit up on the screen.

The policeman asked the woman on the other end who the phone belonged to, and she said her son.

Codd, of Lake Worth, had stolen the victim's mobile phone and a shotgun. His female companion had 49 pieces of jewellery belonging to the victim's wife in her purse.

Both were arrested and face multiple charges, including burglary and larceny.

Why was his phone out in the first place? Was he updating his facebook status during the burglary?

Was he updating his facebook status during the burglary?

Probably posting some pictures of him robbing the place

That's a good possibility considering how stupid he was to leave it there!
