The problem isn't the thief, the problem is the person that the thief is
hypothetically talking to on the phone almost certainly has an expectation of
privacy - they're sitting in their own living room, secure in the knowledge
that they're in a 2-party state (meaning local law requires both parties to
consent to recording a phone conversation), and they didn't consent to any
recording.

Just remember that the *OTHER* party to the conversation never saw the warning
banner....
