Victim Successfully Recovers Stolen iPhone Using “Find My iPhone”

000055yd

Kevin Miller has a great story about how he used the new “Find My iPhone” feature to track down his stolen iPhone and recover it from a thief.

In Chicago for a Lego convention, Kevin had his iPhone stolen in a bar. Luckily, he’d just activated the Find My iPhone feature. The following day, Kevin and a couple of his Lego-convention friends used the iPhone’s built-in GPS and Google Maps to track its location.

As they converged on the crook, he tried to make a run for it. I won’t ruin the rest of the story. It’s a great story, well told.
