I thought the same thing.  I like knowing what info was used, but,  also believe some tactics should be kept in house.   Kind of like fishing techniques....

So, if you are planning a heist in Mo. it would be good to loan your cell phone to a buddy going to California for that time period; if your phone is not in Mo at time of crime then you weren't either.  got it

Could be they had reason to suspect those guys and decided to take a look at their cell phone usage to solidify the evidence.  

I'm curious as to what they planned to do with the pistols.  Did they sell them as a lot, or did they try and sell them one at a time?  Might be some buyers out there that are getting a little nervous.  Bust 5 guys, one of them will probably lay it all out in exchange for a plea.

It should encourage better security measures than the ones they have in place now.

A buddy had his car stolen out of his inlaws driveway between 3:00am and 4:45am.   I wonder why the law couldn't take the time to see whose cell phone was in that area during that time?  They just took a report, said "sucks to be you", and then said they'd contact him if the car turned up anywhere.  

A farmer in Montgomery co. had a combine stolen too (that's some big money!) and it's a safe bet that they didn't bother to check cell phone pings from that corn field during the middle of the night.   

Because it is GUNS though, we pull out all of the available technology to find out who did it.   That kinda pisses me off.  Anyone else?

Seems this method could end a lot of kidnappings, missing person, and Amber alert "investigations" also.

 I'm pretty sure that's not exactly how it works. 

 Do you have any concept of how many thousands of people's cell phones were in that area at that time that those guns were stolen?

  I'd lay good money that they had an idea who it was and then checked cell phone records.

Yes that is how it works.  They can pinpoint it down to a 15ft.circle.   I'm guessing there wasn't that many cell phones within 15 feet of that trailer during the known 4 hour period.

My wife's BFF is an ATT wizard, they can circle an area on a map and tell you whose phones were in that area at any given time.  Only takes about 5 minutes.

How does that work on them prepaid phones? Thought they were anonymous?

I would guess though that hot wiring a couple of yard tractors and jacking trailers around for an hour or so they must have left some fingerprints.

Prepaid phones still operate off the ATT towers.   Trac-fone, and ect. doesn't erect their own cell towers, they pay to piggyback off of existing towers.  Any signal bounced off their towers is data mined.  

[tjm]

Yeah they all operate off whoever's towers and can be identified and triangulated; but who has that number? can they be connected to a name and address?
