Thieves caught hours after stealing GPS tracking devices from tech company

[JHan]

"These devices kind of look like cell phone chargers, so they probably thought they had some kind of street value," Roambee Corporation Co-Founder Vidya Subramanian.

Subramanian is talking about the hundred or so GPS tracking devices that were stolen recently from the company's Dela Cruz Avenue labs.

"The moment we realized they had a box of trackers, we went into recovery mode," Subramanian said. "We notified the police and equipped them to track the devices, and in about 5 or 6 hours, it was done."

Before making off with about $18,000 worth of the devices, the thieves grabbed a beer out of the fridge and cut themselves in the process, leaving fingerprints and blood evidence.

9. I remember a true crime story from many years ago...

The bad guys backed their car into a snowbank while turning around. A smart witness who happened to have a camera on them (this was pre cell phone) took a picture of the imprint of the license plate in the snowbank.

I bet they don't tell anyone in jail the truth of why they are there!
