Cops using Will.i.am's iPad to track down thief

I just can't imagine having 10K of stuff in my house let alone my car!!

this article should be named:

"Hey theives who stole that stuff, get rid of the ipad and run!"

Actually, I've always been amused by Apple's use of "Let's Get It Started". Aside from switching out "retarded" for "it started" in the lyrics for the sake of the family-friendly radio stations, the rest of the song is "Let's Get Retarded", with all its relevant lyrics. Somehow, that wouldn't be my first choice to get people pumped up to cheer on my company. :P

Actually Apple put the Black Eyed Peas on the map by using "Hey Mama" in the first iPod silhouette commercial in 2003:

$10,000 of stuff to him is like a $100 Tom Tom to you.

@BeyondtheTech - I agree davjaxn should keep his worthless comments to himself. What accomplishments has he made??

Good news, but one must wonder if this was "Bob from Chickenscratch Ohio" instead of a famous person if the police would pay the same attention.

I somehow think not. Personally, I've had belongings stolen from me before and the police basically said "We'll take a report, but just replace the stuff because you'll probably never see it again".

Maybe they can use GPS track down this dude's talent.

wow that sucks. i make sure to never leave anything in my car. hes a pretty nice guy too, comes into my work several times a month. hope he gets his stuff back. wonder if this happened in burbank. guess its not as nice as everyone said.

Depends where you live and where you're parking, I suppose. I regularly leave my laptop in my car (often out of its bag in plain view), and it has never been an issue.

Of course, in the winter people here regularly run into the store or post office quickly and leave their cars running in the parking lot, so your mileage may vary.
