Transcription (of iMessage exchange): “Hi, is this Paul?
Who is this
This is Erica from the dentist’s office. I got your number from your file
Pretty sure this violates Hippo but shoot your shot I guess
I’m not flirting with you. We have you on video stealing thousands of dollars of x-ray equipment”
She wants to make sure this criminal knows her name and number personally
Because she saw him on video and she thinks he’s cute. And she also doesn’t value her safety and privacy. It all checks out. This story is totally credible. /s
But what about the hippopotamus?
