Albuquerque police have tracked down an accused carjacker because of a call he made. Police say a man who had just carjacked three people at gunpoint in Albuquerque tracked down the phone number of one of his victims and gave that person a call.

He wanted to know how to hook up the car's stereo amplifier. The victim's cell phone captured the caller's number.

Police say the number traced back to Amadeo Salguero, who lives across the street from where the carjacking occurred. He was arrested Tuesday. Salguero is in the Bernalillo County Detention Center, facing charges including robbery, aggravated assault and receiving stolen property.

One Hundred bucks says that this guy walks on a technicality having to do with evidence collection by the police. Some ACLU lawyer will have the cell phone call held as inadmissible because of his right to privacy or some excuse.
