So the only problem that I have is none of the story kind of makes sense as what's going on. Okay. Cuz he's providing a totally different name. >> Right. I was trying to say I heard somebody I just met him. We could go to >> You're like having to bring you to the store and stuff. >> Yeah, cuz I lost my car. My car is down. >> So I got to get around.

Um I'm going have to talk with staff and see if there's like any money or anything like that's associated with this one female that >> like a theft you thinking? >> Yeah. I don't know. I mean I don't even know what it would be other than like a fraud type deal. But I need to figure out if there's like been any money. So, so they were So, they were at Apple here in Woodfield and then Deer Park like hours apart today. 350. >> What names are on the receipts? >> It it doesn't say. It's just like they bought they the price here is the same thing that they're trying to do here. >> They're trying to get phones. >> Yeah. And then they sell them. >> But I'm not so sure that this vehicle like doesn't have fake on there. >> Did you check the VIN? >> No. No, not yet. So, he's saying that the vehicle comes back to his mom, but all I really have right now is like attempted theft, I think, and obstructing her knee or obstructing what um for him. I don't have any. >> Yeah. >> She was in here saying she was That's the person that actually has an account, but she's like 89. >> Mhm. >> How'd you know Donna? >> She just said it was She told me it was a fake name. She just made it up. >> No. >> You can see the address that she >> This guy said that people like that do these things can get the account holders information online and they come into the store to try to open a lo in their name and finance a phone and they'll have an $1,100 phone that's financed.

I only got one. like $200, $400. >> And you can't explain to me what you're doing and why you're doing it. So, I'm just going to assume like worst case scenario, right? The phone that you said is yours. This one, the 15, and this 10 that was in your back pocket, you said is yours, which was purchased today at Apple in Chicago. Right? So, you see like how none of this makes sense. It makes sense, but we're not getting the full story, right? >> What's your first name again? >> Camila. >> What's your He wants your mom's number. Do you want him to have your house keys? >> Yeah. >> Okay. What's your relationship with him? >> My friend. >> No, for real. You can't stand it. Yeah. >> You guys live together? >> No. >> All right.
