This is kinda funny and shows how low ppl will go for a little money ...
Sharelle Quick lives for her smart phone. She's a realtor and uses it to show and sell homes.
"I'm ashamed I need this bit of technology but this is how business is run nowadays," she said.
Sharelle's smart phone can be used to show listings. By just punching in a few numbers and pointing the phone at homes on the system, Sharelle can get information about the home and actually open the home for perspective buyers.
But Sharelle ran into trouble several weeks ago. She lost her phone while shopping and it ended up in the wrong hands, police said.
Sharelle did something police warn against. She began calling and text messaging the person who had her phone. Police said the man asked for money in return for the phone: up to $300.
Police got involved and recovered Sharelle's smart phone. It was not used in any illegal break-ins, she said. Police charged Rico L. Horne with extortion. Sharelle is now back to work and said the phone has made her smarter too.
"It stays on my hand. I'm thinking about surgical attachment," she laughed.
Police do warn consumers to never engage in communication with someone who is asking for money for the return of a stolen object. They say you should contact them and let them do the work

do you ever do anything other than sit on this site LMAO ... Any ways yes the woman was very attached to the phone , but i think the fact that ppls homes could be open from the phone didnt help either . When we bought this house they owners stuff was still in here when we veiwed it and Im sure if He had used the phone to break into one her listings she would prolly lost her job
