As soon as your phone pings cell towers out of its Faraday bag and airplane mode, the phone can be tracked.

They can check the store's CCTV footage
to see who bought it. Each device has a unique IMSI so it's a matter of
time to trace it back to you.

Your phone constantly pings nearby cell
towers, so if law enforcement knows your number they can just ping you
and use triangulation to find your location. Just as the boss told you
get yourself a Faraday bag and don’t pull it out if you are in your home
or any location you don’t want them to know about.

Stay safe.

Triangulation only gives them a very broad general area, unless you're connected to 5g

Ideally keep on LTE and in the Faraday bag.

If you leave it on long enough they can connect a stingray to it and it'll take them right to you.
