Dear Theives. We’ve been over this like a thousand times. If you’re going to steal an iPhone, make sure you either A) Reset it, or B) Turn it off. There’s a wonderful application called Find My iPhone that’s going to lead the cops to you everytime.

Four armed robbers in Springfield Massachusetts still haven’t learned this valuable bit of information. The robbers donned their masked and rushed into an Ambis convenience store with their guns and plundered the store of its money, cigarettes, and a laptop. Then they stole an iPhone and that’s when everything went downhill.

The stolen iPhone belonged to one of the victims in the store and it had Find My iPhone on it, which the police then used to track down the four masterminds who were identified as Jennifer Brown, Jonathan Lopex, Misael Lebron, and Kyle Randolph

The group of robbers were hanging out a house just a half mile down the road from the convenience store. The police used Find My iPhone to find their location and then bust in and arrest them. One of the robbers even tried to run out the back door, but the state police dogs were happy to greet him and gnaw on his legs a little bit.
