I've started an app to help find lost or borrowed Freerunners. It
watches for specially formatted SMSs and when it sees the right one it
SMSs back its location.

Put [1] in /usr/bin/
Put [2] int /etc/init.d/

chmod +x /etc/init.d/sms-sentry.sh
ln -s /etc/init.d/sms-sentry /etc/rc5.d/S99sms-sentry
reboot

Now whenever you text "sentry:location" to your Freerunner it will
return its lat and lan ( and altitude if available ). It may take
minutes for the return SMS if the GPS is not active when the incoming
SMS arrives.
