I read on CNN yesterday that a computer owner tracked down his/her stole laptop by logging in remotely daily and watching what the thief was doing online. The owner was very patient and eventually tracked the owner while they filled out their name and address to sign up for an online site. The owner then tipped the police off and the thief was arrested, charged with grand larceny and was sent to jail to await trial.

From the CNN article:
Tech-savvy victims are increasingly supplying police with information leading to arrests, authorities said. In May, a White Plains woman whose laptop was stolen also used remote access technology to sign on, then activated the stolen computer's camera and snapped pictures of the man using it.

It really is amazing how technologically advanced our society is becoming.
