Appletell

A White Plains, New York robbery case was open and shut, all thanks to a resourceful college student and Back To My Mac.  An unfortunate student (who happened to work at the local Apple Store) and her roommates returned to their apartment to find it ransacked and burgled.  The stolen items included a Macintosh laptop, which happened to have Back to My Mac installed.  Days later, the victim received a call from a friend, asking her if she was online, she replied no, but seized the opportunity to get her stuff back.  Using a work computer, she went online and logged into the Back to My Mac service, proceeding to open Photo Booth and getting a snapshot of the first perp.  Then, searching through the computer, she found pictures of the other burglar. The victim did not recognize the men, but her roommate recognized them from a recent party.  She then took those pictures to the local police, who made arrest within a day.  Almost all of the $5,000 in tech goodies, including her computer and two plasma TVs were returned.
