Police officer uses his own iPhone to locate thief and retrieve a stolen iPhone Jan 28th 2012, 09:36 A Police officer in New York used his own iPhone to catch a thief and retrieve a victim's iPhone after she was robbed in a handbag store on Thursday night. A man walked into the store brandishing a black handgun and took the woman's iPhone. After a fruitless canvass of the area, one officer, Robert Garland, tried another tack. Using the 24-year-old victim's iTunes account information and the iCloud feature on his own phone, Mr. Garland was able to track the victim's iPhone. Officers then followed the cyber-scent to the area near 49th Street and Eighth Avenue. As they searched the area, the suspect, who the police said had placed the phone in his boot, walked past the officers. The victim's phone began to beep. And, soon, the suspect was placed under arrest. There have been many other reported cases of iPhones being recovered in this way however you do need to use a bit of caution before reprimanding a suspect. Best off leaving it to the police, especially with officers like Robert Garland on your side!
