Just another saddo looking for a date with Michelle.

I guess the real question is though the reverse number look-up.

Perhaps it would compromise people ringing in to report their neighbor cooking up some meth?

Through triangulation of tower strength they know exactly where you are.

I remember not to long ago some dumb chit made a kidnapping call and they were on him like stink on chit.

My daughter's boyfriend knows where his workers are as long as their phones are on. He brings up a map on his laptop and their location is within an arms length.

With you on that one TBT, but I assume the old dear was calling from a land line.

I don't suppose anyone in the States has them anymore.

^ I do, I don't own a cell. People can find you if you have one. My company has been asking me when I'm going to get a cell, so that they know where I am. I keep telling them, they know where I am because they keep sending me there.

With a land line, if I call 911 and hang up without even saying a word, the police will show up in 5-10 minutes. If I tell them it was a mistake, they still have to make a physical appearance.
