Allegedly on March 4, when Chi was fixing Vasquez’s computer, Chi placed his camera phone in the bathroom after learning Vasquez was going to have a shower, and set it to record video.

Vasquez is said to have seen the phone next to the bathroom sink with a red flashing light, which normally indicates the phone is in video recording mode. When Vasquez discovered the phone, she told her sister, Kelly. When they came back to check on the phone, it had been moved, apparently by Chi, into Vasquez’s sister’s bedroom.

Both young ladies are then reported to have removed the camera phone’s memory card, and immediately took it to a Verizon phone store to see what was on the memory card, which is said to have shown Chi in the process of setting the phone up to record, whereupon she called her step-father and the police arrived to arrest Chi.

Why Vasquez was unable to (or chose not to) view the video directly on the phone itself is unknown, but she did say that: “You could see him on the video setting it up. I was shocked.”

Questions have been asked online as to which brand of phone was used in a bid to verify Vasquez’s claims are correct, while others on the Internet believe it may simple be a case of Vasquez and her mother trying to sue Geek Squad for the money.

Others still have questioned the wisdom of placing a phone in a bathroom where the lens would simply fog up, and the problem of a shower curtain preventing much in-shower cleaning action being filmed.

Best Buy, who own Geek Squad, promote Geek Squad as having “agents you can trust”, with the LA times reporting Best Buy’s statement, which is that “Best Buy was not informed of this action prior to being contacted by the media today," the company said in a statement. "Obviously, we intend to cooperate fully with any investigation into this matter.”{moscomment}
