Beware of phone thief at Parrish middle school

This might be an important message to the parents of the students at

Buffalo Creek Middle School in Parrish. My daughter's phone got stolen from her backbag from a classroom on a recent Friday. We tracked her phone to the last address shown on "Find my iPhone" but we couldn't find the phone. But we did find one of her friends from her class right next to the address.

Anyway, on Monday another phone got stolen from another student, same way, same classroom.

I don't believe that it's OK with the school board or to any parents. We give our kids phones for emergencies but to get stolen like that.

And two phones in two days?
