This Way, Gang!<\/strong> A burglary of a Silicon Valley tech company netted $30,000 worth of equipment, including computers. The thief was easy to track down, but not because he was injured in the break-in, and left blood \u201cand other DNA evidence\u201d at the scene. It was because the target was Roambee of Santa Clara, Calif., which makes GPS tracking equipment. \u201cThere is no [power] switch,\u201d said Roambee spokesman Vidya Subramanian. \u201cIt\u2019s always on and it always tells you, as long as it\u2019s got a battery, where it is in the world.\u201d The company simply relayed to police where the 100 trackers were located, and officers raided two locations, finding not only the stolen trackers, but various other stolen goods from other burglaries. A suspect is in custody. (RC\/San Jose Mercury News) \u2026It\u2019s great we don\u2019t need a high-tech tracker to know where he\u2019ll be the next 3\u20135 years.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"If you decide to pull of a $30,000 tech heist, be sure the tech you steal is not GPS tracking devices: This Way, Gang!
