[Summit] Tracking stolen phones and computers

[Coryndon Luxmoore]

For those with macs and i phones it is free and easy to enable device tracking through Apple's iCloud service. This provides location and the ability to remote wipe the device.

If you would like a bit more control and the ability to have the device take pictures of the person in possession of the device you may also want to check out Undercover.

>> This subject Nicolas Noka dob 11-25-91 was just apprehended for a strong armed robbery on broadway. I have seen this subject riding up and down Broadway numerous times,looking at people passing by,..if you see him he would be a good to keep an eye on.
>> Today he was riding a bike and snatched an Iphone off a victim at broadway near the Columbus Theater. We tracked the Iphone to Prairie ave in the Housing complex off Broad St and Somerset within minutes and found him in possession of the iphone. He was charged. If you have an Iphone, you should download Free- the APP called FINDIPHONE, in case it is stolen or lost. You could track it via GPS.
