Mashable recently reported that a laptop thief was apprehended thanks to the implementation of technology. Someone stole Joshua Kaufman’s laptop from the Bay Area last week. Shortly after the theft, Kaufman was able to start a Tumblr blog featuring pictures of the thief. He obtained the pictures from a security program he installed on his MacBook called Hidden. The Hidden app allowed him to capture photos of the thief, glean his Google ID and pinpoint his location, all without providing any overt indication this was occurring. Shortly after Kaufman’s blog began receiving substantial attention, the Oakland Police apprehended the suspect. Although Hidden only works on Apple systems, other similar programs, such as Prey, work on Windows and Linux machines.
