Seriously; I've posted stuff that I though was on topic, and got heat 
for it.  So I decided to ask first.

Stolen laptop leads victim to alleged thieves

Richard Liebson
The Journal News
WHITE PLAINS - Smile, you're busted.

A tech-savvy White Plains woman whose apartment was burglarized solved 
the crime herself after she was able to log on to her stolen laptop, 
photograph one of the suspects with it and get photos of another, police 
said.

Edmon Shahikian, 23, of 13 Cobbling Rock Road, Katonah, and Ian Frias, 
20, of 1609 E. 174th St., the Bronx, were picked up at their homes 
Wednesday night after the victim turned the pictures over to police. The 
police said they recovered most of the $5,000 worth of electronics 
stolen in the burglary.

"Our victim did a phenomenal job," said Lt. Eric Fischer, commander of 
the Detective Division. "She knew her computer, and she let us know as 
soon as she obtained the information. We rolled on it immediately, and 
the result is the arrest of two burglary suspects and the recovery of 
most of the stolen property."

The burglary was reported April 27, when three roommates returned to 
their Ridgeview Avenue apartment about 10 p.m. to discover that it had 
been ransacked.

Among the items taken were two laptops, two flat-screen televisions, two 
iPods, gaming consoles, DVDs and computer games. Police found no sign of 
force.

On Tuesday, police said, one of the victims, who works at The Apple 
Store in The Westchester mall, received a call from a friend asking her 
if she was online.

The victim said no, and was told by the friend that his computer showed 
her as being logged onto the Internet.

At that point, police said, the victim signed onto another computer and 
used the "Back to My Mac" program to determine that her stolen MacIntosh 
laptop indeed was signed onto the Web and that someone was using it to 
shop online. She then activated the stolen computer's camera, allowing 
her to "see" what was in front of the laptop.

At first, police said, she saw only an empty chair. But a short time 
later, they said, she was able to photograph a man, Shahikian, sitting 
in front of her stolen laptop. The victim then was able to find photos 
of Frias using the computer after it had been stolen, police said.

Fischer said the victim did not know either man but showed the photos to 
one of her roommates, who recognized them as having attended a 
get-together at the apartment a few weeks before the burglary.

Police said Shahikian and Frias apparently are friends of a friend of 
the victims.

The computer-savvy victim contacted police, gave them the tell-tale 
photos, and the arrests were made a short time later.

Shahikian and Frias are charged with second-degree burglary and 
fourth-degree criminal possession of stolen property, both felonies.

Bail and court information were unavailable.

Frias and Shahikian were arrested last year on charges of criminal 
possession of marijuana, a felony, after police recovered 3 pounds of 
marijuana worth about $7,500 in a Jeep they were in. The dispositions of 
their cases were not immediately available.

If you have to ask, it probably isn't.

..mac and BTMM are more appropriate to com.sys.mac.comm

Why do you pull these stunts?

I know, I know... 

"I don't subscribe to the other groups."

"Somebody else did it first."

"Don't blame me, I was just replying to {insert troll name here]."

Peh.

No, they're OT on comp.sys.mac.comm, not here.

Sigh. OT above means "on topic". Just this once. Promise.

Y'know, if you, Mike R, and JR had all said, "No", I wouldn't have 
posted it.

It's not stunts, Dave; I've posted stuff that I thought was on topic, 
and got beaten down by you and JR for it, so this time I thought I would 
ask.

So it seems that asking isn't good enough for a petty tyrant like you; 
you just like to insult and berate people for whatever excuse you can 
dredge up.

So from now on, I'll ignore your opinions on anything except purely 
technical material.

That's about par with what I'm coming to expect from you. You reply to
criticism with insults and excuses, behaving like a spoiled child.

I'm not going to play that game with you. It's not worth my time.

I react to wannabe petty dictators with the derision they deserve.  It 
you hit someone, don't be surprised if they hit back.

I asked if something were on topic, and you acted in your typical 
self-righteous abusive manner, and I called you on it.  If you want to 
continue to act like a schoolyard bully, that's your problem; stop 
trying to blame me.
