Back in 2002 I used a Siemens "world phone" (capable of using the American GSM frequencies) that I had bought to be able to use it both in Sweden and in the US with Voicestream. This worked great, but shortly after T-Mobile purchased Voicestream, my phone started having random freezes which I felt sure was because of changes to their network and how it communicated with the phone. I complained about it to T-Mobile and simply got informed that they didn't "support" my phone. The freezes happened every two days or so, and the only fix was to remove the battery and put it back in for a reboot.
One day this must have happened during the night when the phone was charging. When I checked it in the morning it was completely dead, very very hot and never turned on again. Seems to me the freeze caused it to keep charging when it should have sensed a full charge and stopped.
How about 20 people cramming themselves into his garage and simply walking around reaching and feeling with their arms and legs. Unicorns usually aren't very small and shouldn't be very hard to find, invisible or not.
