We got a call back from from the police regarding our dangerous driver, but unfortunately there is a problem. Apparently, when they tried to run his plates, nothing came up. It looks like either I read the numbers to Rachel incorrectly, Rachel gave the wrong number to the police, or the police screwed up on their ends. Regardless, because of this error, it looks like the perpetrator may escape justice this time.
Except... I happened to take a photo of the plates with my camera phone. (Yes, I know, I'm a bit over-zealous with my camera phone.) Now all we need to do is take a quick look at the photo, and we can verify that we gave the police the correct number. Say "good-bye" to your license, Oldy McAlmostKilledSomebody.
Except... my phone is currently malfunctioning. The screen no longer works, so I have no way to see any photos I've taken with it, and I can't transfer it off the phone, because I can't see any of the menus. T-mobile says they can't fix it, and they can't help me get my data off the phone. So the situation is pretty much hopeless.
Unless... I use the replacement phone T-Mobile sends me to navigate the image-transfer menus, while mirroring the very same button-presses blindly on the broken phone. By doing so, I should be able to transfer the photo to my computer, from which I can email it to the police.
The new phone arrives sometime this week. Enjoy your freedom while it lasts, Pappy.
