The Crime-Fighting Mac

Two thieves broke into Kait Duplaga’s New York apartment and stole thousands of dollars of stuff, including a Mac laptop. Duplaga works for an Apple store.

Someone told Duplaga that her Mac was online. Using a different Mac, she gained control of her stolen laptop’s system using a remote access feature built into OSX Leopard.

A camera is built into Mac laptops. Duplaga took a photo of the thief sitting there in front of her stolen laptop, and retrieved a photo of the other thief. A roommate recognized both guys, who had been party guests a few weeks earlier. Both have now been arrested.
