Episode 837 – How Many iPhones?

Miami man charged after nearly 20 foil-wrapped phones found inside Jeep

On Sunday morning, the 25-year-old victim was inside Layer Cake restaurant when she discovered her $1,200 iPhone was missing from her purse. The victim was able to track the phone via her Apple Watch to a parking lot behind the restaurant.

Surveillance cameras captured Montero coming and going from the Jeep. Officers conducted surveillance on the Jeep. Montero returned to his Jeep, saw the officers, and attempted to get into an Uber and leave, police said.

She asked officers for help and shortly after, they went to the parking lot and found a maroon Jeep Waggoneer from which the victim’s phone was pinging, police said. Officers were able to clearly see the phone inside the vehicle.

Police were able to execute a search warrant on the Jeep and found 17 cell phones, many of them wrapped in aluminum foil. Police say the foil was used in an attempt to diminish their signals.

So if you’re wondering how many cell phones you have to steal to make a Wagoneer payment, it’s 17.

Jeep crashes into Amish buggy in Lincoln County

The 24-year-old woman was driving a Jeep Compass on Route 17 in Somerville about 7:50 a.m. when she attempted to pass a horse and buggy, according to the Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office.

She ended up sideswiping the buggy, hitting its left rear wheel and dislodging it.

A passenger in the Amish buggy suffered minor scrapes on his hand and wrist. No one else was hurt.

The horse was not injured.

2023 Jeep Compass 4×4

The exterior took the shape of a junior Grand Cherokee. Its interior, no longer a penalty box lined with inexpensive-looking materials, provided a ritzier feel and appeal. Despite that progress, the languid powertrain carried over, and thus the Compass failed to gain meaningful ground in the competition in the hotly contested segment.

For 2023, Jeep has tossed the 2.4-liter inline-four in the dumpster where it belongs. In its place is a more desirable turbocharged 2.0-liter inline-four, similar to that which can be had in the Jeep Wrangler. Here in the Compass, the turbo four makes 200 horses and 221 pound-feet, gains of 23 and 49, respectively, over the former naturally aspirated mill. More importantly, peak torque arrives at 1750 rpm compared to 3900 in the 2.4-liter.
