Although not as deliciously trashy as the infamous How Not To Steal A Sidekick story of June, we can glean a few interesting details about the criminals who stole the Practicalist’s cell phone and then inadvertently uploaded their snapshots to his Flickr account.

For example, we know that the Taco Bell chihuahua is an accomplice. Furthermore, the perps drive a bright-red muscle car, and, although the picture doesn’t specifically illustrate it, we can probably extrapolate the fact that the horn plays a tonal rendition of ‘La Cucaracha’ when pressed.

The Practicalist has no idea who stole his cell phone yet, although his commenters note that eventually the perps will slip up and take a photo of a landmark or a person, and then it’s Internet vigilante go time.
