Several years ago I got harassing phone calls from a person who turned out
to be doing it from her home phone (after the telco traced it...).  Of
course, she WAS a dimwit...

A local resident named Pat Kelly was receiving harassing phone calls.
The caller didn't know that his intended victim had an unlisted number
and that the Pat Kelly he was calling was a Lt. in the city's Police Dept.
The caller was being held in the County Jail on other charges at the time.
Needless to say he was caught. That's a dimwit.
