A suspect's own cell phone placed her at the scene of the crime, according to the Collier County Sheriff's Office.

Amanda Minerva Gallegos, 18, and Jessie Cervantez, 22, broke into several unlocked cars between May 27 and May 28, deputies reported. 

Authorities allege the pair stole a stereo, bank paperwork, a wallet, a drill and tools. 

Yet while nabbing a couple of cell phone chargers from one of the cars, Gallegos left behind her cell phone, the 20-page arrest report said. 

“Yall be-careful!” said a text sent to Gallegos' phone around 2 a.m. May 28. 

A few minutes later another text said: “and if you find a badass camera and a badass metro phone yall better give it to me.”

The replies were simple: “K.”

Photos on the phone matched Gallegos and Cervantez's driver's license pictures as well as video taken at a 7-Eleven convenience store where hundreds of dollars was charged on one of the stolen bank cards.

A store clerk also identified the couple as having presented several stolen checks to be cashed.

Over two days, Cervantez cashed nine stolen checks totaling about $2,500.

Gallegos, of the 100 block of Melody Lane in East Naples, and Cervantez, of the 5200 block of Maple Lane in East Naples, were both charged with three counts of burglary, two counts of petty theft and criminal mischief.

Cervantez had additional charges, nine counts of cashing bad checks and grand theft.
