I helped recover a stolen laptop for a friend which I had previously installed LogMeIn on. I checked her account and it had connected to the server after the date which it was stolen, so I had the IP of whoever likely had stolen it and was in possession of it. I told this to the detective and they busted the thieves and recovered the lost laptop within a few days.

I love how criminals "mark" themselves for easier identification.

Ah, this guy. To all of those who think men are made in god's image, I want to think that it excludes the intelligence. Or god must be a pretty... "peculiar" god.

hah.. I know a few cellphone thieves have been caught the same way. They take pictures using the phone's camera, and it automatically uploads them to Flickr or MySpace without them knowing it.

(ShoZu is one of the programs that does that)

This is the third such story I've read where a stolen iMac/Macbook "calls home" with photos of its thief. It seems like a pretty good practice to set up the computer to do this, take a picture at login and auto-send it somewhere.

xtex 2007-09-24 08:22:01 PM  
There are a few Mac programs that do this... iAlertU is another...

You can also roll your own if you're Unix saavy on the Mac with camcapture, curl, cron/launchd, and quick bash script. (run it as root so it will run even when you're logged out).

Fun stuff :)

My cellphone does the same thing. It automatically sends photos to my account on my cellphones website. I am still trying to find a way to disable it though. It is just a way for them to get you to rack up text/photo message fees. Bastards.

Very old news as far as the interweb of today goes. Shame on you, fark.

On the LJ group Eugene Community somebody had a digital cam stolen and when it was recovered at a pawn shop the thief had taken pix of his skank g/f smoking crank, naked, and getting out of jail (it was like a chain of causality).

Classic.

Speaking of which...I turn to Fark for multiple hours every day, and somehow missed this, uh, "gem". Where the hell did that start, and how soon will it end?

Kthxbye!

Dumbass!

Everyone knows (or should know) that the first thing you do with a stolen computer is wipe the drives - wipe 'em good - and start fresh.

Steal multiple computers? All the better. Swap out and cannibalize all the secondary components. Harder to track.

But then again, anyone who would steal a bunch of PC's and end up on Fark? The guy's got to be an idiot. LOL

The only thing dumber than a Rotsky, are the farkers that think they can make a fark cliche go away by whining about it.
