More interestingly, the fire chief who spent over $1000 in town's money on 900-sex calls, didn't just use his phone. He apparantely took an unused phone and hot-wired it into the sanitation department's phone line. He was traced back when the police tried to take an inventory of all phone equipment and that phone was missing. It suddenly re-appeared the day after, thus triggering suspicions.
