iPhone Theft at DGN

A Downers Grove North High School student told police at 3:43 p.m. that someone took his white $500 iPhone 5. The student forgot his calculator for his math class and in order to receive one from the teacher, he had to place his school ID card into the plastic container located in the classroom by the extra containers. He did not have his school ID, so he put his iPhone into the plastic container and took a calculator for the class period. When class ended, the student forgot to retrieve his phone and left the class with the calculator. When he returned between sixth and seventh period, the phone was gone. The teacher was not aware he used his iPhone for collateral and had not seen it.
