Submitted by Anonymous Coward
An anonymous reader writes: Bad news: a Canadian who visited New York had his laptop stolen. Good news: it was outfitted with Prey, the open-source computer tracking application. Better news: a group in NYC made a "geek squad intervention", faced the culprit and retrieved the laptop safely.

This case naturally raises the usual sorts of questions about the "Twitter posse" culture.
