Now You Know Where To Find That Sweet Razr You’ve Been Looking For

What with the mayor being all hardass about that cell phone ban, students have had to get creative:

Students interviewed by the Daily News said they have been stashing their phones outside of schools because they don’t want to have to go through the hassle of getting their phones confiscated — then waiting on line to get their phones back at the end of the school day.

“Mostly everybody does it,” said Vince Williams, a senior at Grady High School in Brighton Beach. “If they’re leaving it at home it’s probably because they hid it once and it got stolen.”

Armando Garcia, 18, said he doesn’t worry about losing his phone — even though he routinely drops it in a garbage can near his school.

“People walk past it every day, and never see a thing,” said Garcia, a junior at Brooklyn’s Lincoln High School, adding that he also has hidden his phone in an apartment building’s laundry room near the school.

Brighton Beach homeowner Gary Collier said he’s caught students retrieving phones from his backyard twice — and his jaw dropped when he learned one of the gadgets was a $400 T-Mobile Sidekick.

“I just happened to see them last week, but who knows how long this has been going on,” said Collier, 60, a retired Legal Aid Society paralegal. “When kids are going to these lengths, it’s clear we’ve gotten off the beaten path.”
