Woman Indicted for Allegedly Stashing Phone Books
LAS CRUCES, N.M. — Most people want to get rid of their old phone books, but a Las Cruces woman has been indicted for fraud for allegedly keeping more than 100,000 directories.
Fifty-five-year-old Debra Gottrell is accused of storing the books in three Las Cruces storage units during a four-year period instead of delivering them as she was hired to do.
Court records show she was indicted July 31st by a Dona Ana County grand jury on a charge of fraud.
A telephone listing for Gottrell was unavailable. There is no explanation of why she allegedly took the phone books.

Of course there was no listing available for her...she's got all the phone books. :thatsright:
-
It would be logical except she was paying to store them. That's nuts.
-
Perhaps she was trying to corner the market in phone books. :-)
-
Or waiting for "Peak recycled paper" to make a killing, with her brilliant plan foiled when the price did not go up and her financial model entered a death spiral of storage costs.

She must be really, really short :-)

:rofl:
I have a stack of about 20 phone books. The different phone companies dump a shrink-wrapped stack of books in the breezeways two or three times a year. They go untouched for about a week, and I'll drag them inside and put them with the rest of the unused phone books.
