Phone pirates in seek and steal mission
Mobile phone technology is being used by thieves to seek out and steal laptops locked in cars in Cambridgeshire.

Up-to-date mobiles often have Bluetooth technology, which allows other compatible devices, including laptops, to link up and exchange information, and log on to the internet.

But thieves in Cambridge have cottoned on to an alternative use for the function, using it as a scanner which will let them know if another Bluetooth device is locked in a car boot.

Haha, as much as I hate to see theft and loss of property occuring, I love it when someone exhibits a true "hacker" mentality. I also can't believe these were left in the trunk and TURNED ON...unless some of these laptops have bluetooth functioning even after you've powered down the PC?!?

Regardless, it's ingenious, you theiving sh!ts!
