Apple iPhone thief ‘caught just minutes later after GPS tracked him’
23rd July 2010
We have the technology.
The 31 year-old snatched the highly-sought after phone from the hands of a software company employee who was testing a new application in San Francisco earlier this week.
The phone was being used to test a new real-time tracking application, which had been produced by Covia Labs, a software company based in the San Francisco Bay suburb of Mountain View.
But the hapless thief was arrested by police just nine minutes later after the iPhone tracked his every move.
And, judging by his name and the fact that he wasn’t described, he’s probably a Haitian ‘of color’.
