A different stolen laptop tale

We've all heard about laptops being stolen in the last few years, but this story is different. A woman's laptop was stolen in NY and she got it back in a very clever way.

She learned from a friend that the computer was being used online so she remotely logged in and activated the computer's built in camera to take a picture of the burglar.

Forget the "Men in Black", worry instead about the "Women with a Mac".

If she isn't already, she just earned the title "old school hacker" in my book. Kind of like Kevin Poulsen catching all those sex offenders on Myspace.
