There’s an app for that

Droid catches thieves:

Two young men from the Portland area, keen to get on the smartphone bandwagon without paying, broke in and stole a pair of Motorola Android handsets (along with other electronics) from a nearby household. What they didn’t foresee, however, was that one of the phones would have the free Lookout app, which automatically backs up all photos taken with the handset to a user-accessible server every night. So, in the midst of testing out their ill-gotten loot, the criminals provided the phone’s legitimate owner with enough visual clues for the police to swoop in and apprehend one of them.

    You could also install gps tracker on your Droid. See http://www.instamapper.com. Its creepy and wrong when the .gov does it, but if you do for your own purposes I’m ok with it.

    Never steal something smarter than you.

Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.
