Police have arrested two men and recovered $US5500 ($5800) worth of stolen computers and electronic devices after the owner of one of the purloined laptops was able to connect remotely to her Apple MacBook and photograph the thief.

no, not in Oz...
Kait Duplaga, 19, returned to her New York state home on April 27 to find the unit she shared with two other flat mates had been ransacked.

Just a rehash of an earlier story.

That's an awesome story...

"She signed on to another Mac and activated "Back to My Mac"...

From there she was able to remotely activate the laptop's built-in web cam
and take a snap shot of the theif using her computer.

Gotcha!
