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. -- Support the troops: Bring them home ASAP.

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. -- Support the troops: Bring them home ASAP.

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.

You reply > to criticism with insults and excuses, behaving like a spoiled child. 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. -- Support the troops: Bring them home ASAP.
