Before an armed robber locked Mary Graves in the sweltering trunk of her car, she dialed an emergency number on her portable telephone and slipped it to her three-year-old daughter. Though confused, the little girl saved the day. She told emergency operators that her mother was locked in the trunk. Although she didn’t know where she was, she provided some important clues: she could see airplanes and the sky, according to the transcript of the emergency phone call.

The operator told the girl to honk, enabling the police to locate the car and free Mrs. Grave.
