These days, lots of smartphones have apps for tracking the location of the phones, so stealing one of them is probably becoming increasingly risky for thieves. But, still, in a move that didn't bode well at all, Horatio Toure supposedly used his bicycle to ride up to a woman in San Francisco carrying an iPhone, and snatched it out of her hands. The only problem? The woman had it
to demo a new "real-time GPS tracking program." It took all of about 10 minutes for the police to track down Toure, about a half a mile away. Nice work.
