So, as some of you know, my brother is a cop. Thursday night I had an interesting phone call around 10pm. It went something like this:
*phone rings*
Me: Hello?
Agitated Sounding Dude: Is this Officer Jag'slastname?
Me: What? (doing my best to sound confused as hell, because anytime someone calls looking for my brother out of the blue like that I just pretend I don't know him or what the hell they're talking about)
Agitated Sounding Dude: Are you an officer?
Me: An...officer of what?
Agitated Sounding Dude: So, you're not an officer?
Me: An officer of what?
Agitated Sounding Dude: So, you're telling me you're not an officer?
Me: An officer of what?
Agitated Sounding Dude: .....
Me: Who is this?
Agitated Sounding Dude: Well, if you're not an officer I'm not telling you.
Me: An officer of what? This is getting redundant, dude.
Agitated Sounding Dude: An officer of the law, smartass!
Me: Oh, well why didn't you just say so. No, I'm not an officer of the law.
Agitated Sounding Dude: So....you're not an officer?
Me: Uhh...didn't I just say that I wasn't? Who are you?
Agitated Sounding Dude: I'm not telling you but if you ARE an officer of the law, then call me back.
Me: Okay, so you're going to leave me your number?
Agitated Sounding Dude: No.
Me: Then why would you ask me to call you back if you're not going to leave your number?
Agitated Sounding Dude: So, you're not an officer?
Me: I think we've pretty well established that I am not. Do you have any other repetitive questions you'd like to ask me five or six times or are we through, here?
Agitated Sounding Dude: ...
Me: Okay, well...have a nice night.
Now, at this point it's pretty apparent that Agitated Sounding Dude wasn't very bright and he'd also been just cold-calling people with my last name out of the phone book (my listing just has my initials and no address). I figured there was no way in hell anyone was dumb enough to call me without *67'ing themselves to keep someone from *69'ing them and getting their number. I was wrong. Agitated Sounding Dude WAS that stupid.
I tracked him to a cell phone on a local carrier and triangulated his position through their website. I then started sending him text messages through the carrier's website with no return number attached, giving him his general location, and telling him the cops were on their way and that he should stay put. LOL!

I then called my brother and gave him all the details. Turns out my brother has been serving some drug-related warrants and he was pretty sure he knew who this dumbass was, based on the cell number. He put his intelligence guys on it and gave me a description of the dillhole in case ever pops up in my neighborhood (it's pretty much impossible for him to find me, and he doesn't know my name or that the guy he was trying to find by calling me is my brother). From the sounds of it, this guy is going to be in jail on trafficking charges well before Thanksgiving, anyway.
