SJMercury: P.M. Bay Area Buzz: Apple app helps San Jose cops catch iPad thieves

When an Apple employee arrived at his downtown San Jose home to find that his two iPads had been stolen, he realized the hot-selling tablet could help him track down the thieves.

With a San Jose police officer looking over his shoulder, the employee used his iPhone to watch an icon representing one of his iPads travel through the city, then turn onto Cape George Place.

Police swung into action, surrounding a 1998 Dodge Neon. In the back seat was a slew of hardware including the employee's iPads. Police arrested Francisco Chavez, 31, and Arturo Urrutia, 33, both of San Jose, on burglary and other related charges.

• Apple社従業員の家から二台のiPadが盗まれた。
• iPhoneに表示されたiPadの現在位置を警察に見せて、警察は現場に急行。
• 犯人はあっさりと逮捕された、と。
