There was a story this morning about a guy in Colorado whose iPhone and wallet were stolen out of a locker at a rec center. He logged on to a computer at the rec center and activated a special GPS app that located his iPhone at the Boulder Public Library. Then, he went to the library and used another app that activated a beeping alarm on his iPhone, revealing the redhanded culprit. It was a homeless dude. He almost stripped naked to prove he didn't have the phone on him, but it was in his backpack, along with the dude's wallet. Guy got everything back, and the homeless guy was arrested. cool photo, Alex.
