Unlucky Thief Caught 10 Minutes After Stealing iPhone

▤ Summary

Last week, a man grabbed an iPhone out of the hands of a woman standing on a San Francisco city street, then sped off on his bicycle. She returned to the office, called the police, and was able to give them the exact location of the iPhone because the app was still running. "This reminds me of the bank robber who arrives during the security test," said the phones owner, David Kahn, in the newspaper report. In 2007, the town of Babylon on New Yorks Long Island was able to retrieve 14 stolen city phones, thanks to GPS tracking. And dont forget that Brian Hogan was tracked down by the authorities after allegedly taking home a prototype iPhone he found in a bar, thus kicking off one of the biggest gadget stories of the year.
