The first post says it all.

Quote »So this past Wednesday Dec 16th somebody broke into my apartment while I was at work and stole about 24 ps3 video games, 45 ps3 games, 52 snes games, all of my consoles including my PS3 and components including a PS3 camera. What the thieve didn't know is that I had my PS3 connected to my PSP. As some of you know, once you hook up your PSP to your PS3 you can remotely control your PS3 through your PSP through a local or internet connection. I tried every day, every hour to see if by any chance the thieve connected the PS3 to the internet, surely on Friday Dec 18th at around 11:30pm I was able to turn on the PS3 from my home by using my PSP using my internet connection. I opened a chat room, turned on the camera and surely enough I got to see a close look at the thieves face! (probably looking at it wondering why the PS3 had turned on by itself!!!), with my digital camera readily available I took a picture of the PSP screen with the thieves face!! Called the police and they quickly recognized the person!!!! LONG STORY SHORT, I GOT MY PS3 WITH NO DAMAGE WHATSOEVER AND ALL OF MY GAMES WERE RECOVERED![/quote]

That rocks. Hard. What kind of moron would connect the camera on a STOLEN device?

Well in many communities there are always the same trouble makers that do small crimes and stupid disturbances. My cousin could point out the few trouble makers in his city of North Arlington from a crowd. So if this kid brought back pictures of the criminal, it wouldn't be crazy for the cops to be able to recognize him. Also they have all his info from previous arrests so getting to the thief's house wouldn't be hard.
