But it was entertaining enough that I couldn’t resist!

A man used some handy applications and services for his iPhone to track a thief down and recover the phone. Read the story at his blog.

One thing to carefully note here is the danger of personally pursuing a thief. Honestly, this man is lucky he wasn’t shot, mugged, or otherwise harmed. I have actually corresponded with some on Twitter who have been assaulted trying to recover property.

Bad idea! Let us do it for you.
