"Find My iPhone" nails three robbery suspects

According to the Pittsburgh Post Gazette, a man was robbed at 1 a.m by three perps and was relieved of his wallet and more importantly, his iPhone. After leaving the scene of the crime unhurt, he called Apple and his banks and then used the handset's "Find My iPhone" feature which showed his beloved touchscreen device at a local Wal Mart store. The Po-po were called in and the three were busted at a nearby gas station. On the suspects the cops found a pellet gun, stolen ID's, credit cards and cash. There was no word on whether or not the stolen iPhone was found. 22 year old Bryant Rather, 22 year old Brent Ray Potter and Myron Knox Jr., also 22, were each charged with two counts of access device fraud, conspiracy, receiving stolen property and possessing instruments of a crime. Mr. Potter and Mr. Rather will also both be charged with robbery.
