Cheers for the Owner Girl! I'm wondering if they intercepted her
vital information, once they got the laptop? Hope she didn't have any
valuable programs loaded on it. Richie Gardenhie, Anchorage, Alaska.

Here's a little story for you: An Apple Store employee had a party in
her
apartment. A couple weeks later her place was cleared out to the tune of
about $5,000 worth of electronics, including her new Mac. Days later, a
friend sees that she's online and alerts the Mac's rightful owner.
Since she
was running Leopard with Back to My Mac, owner-girl logged in remotely
and
activated Photo Booth via the screen-share function. And what do you
know,
it turned out that the thieves were some "friends" who were at the
party a
few weeks back. She took the photos to the cops and -- voila --
busted! The
thieves, Edmon Shahikian, 23, and Ian Frias, 20, both of the Bronx, have
been charged with second-degree burglary and fourth-degree criminal
possession of stolen property. Go go crafty nerdy girl!
