A New York Woman was robbed of her Mac, and the two idiots that robbed her well weren’t that bright.
The woman’s friend saw her online, notified the women and the women used a second computer and the “Back to My Mac” program to establish a remote connection with her Mac, snap a picture of the thief using the built in camera, and sent it a long to the police.
The police used the photo to arrest 23 year old Edmon Shahikian and 20-year-old Ian Frias. They also recovered $5,000 in stolen electronics.

Good for her! In related news, someone checked in an Adium plugin this morning that lets you snap a screenshot of your thief without triggering the Photo Booth ‘countdown’:
