switched.com — Earlier, we reported the story of a robbery victim who used his stolen iPhone's GPS application to track down his purloined phone and, thus, the suspected thieves. In other crime-fighting Mac news, The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW) reports that an anonymous contributor dubbed 'Jim' has gotten a tip on the location of his stolen laptop.

Yeah there's a bunch of different services offering this protection. Use the google.My Toshiba laptop came with one, can't remember what it's called. I never installed it though, it just felt a bit creepy. I'm paranoid about that kind of stuff.Cracks me up though, as usual the mac people think they're special when this kind of service is available to everyone.

MOST users, no, no they wouldn't. You would think a guy that stole a laptop would do it to erase his tracks too...

Wow...the police are f**kin useless. What good was filing a police report when the guy ends up solving his own case???

lol I guess it was stupid of me to expect a sensible response in the Apple forum regarding a Windows Mobile app.I'm sure there is an Apple equivalent app, and if not, perhaps awareness will prompt one to be made.

And I'd say that Fred is a douche who just trolls Apple stories, but that's just me... unless you look at his history.
