A transient man helped smoke out a pair of cigarette thieves in Lincoln, Neb. Police say the man heard the sound of shattered glass and saw two men go inside a business. What did he do then? He called the police, of course -- on his cell phone! How often does that happen? Where does the carrier send the bill? Like the detective said, it just shows how much "the culture has changed."
