Black Eyed Peas’ Will.i.am is using technology to catch thieves. His parked Bentley was broken into and the thief made off with $10,000 worth of loot including jewelry, other personal property and the singer’s shiny Apple iPad.
Will.i.am tells how he was able to retrieve it:
“Everyone is talking about my car getting broken into… actually…I accidentally left it open…unfortunately someone walked by it and took everything out of it… in my car was my coke bottle cap bag…and in that bag was my drivers license, black American Express card, Visa card, 10 thousand dollars worth of items, and my ipad… ha ha… (thats when I remember I turned on “find my iPad” function) to make a long story short – threw gps and find my ipad on: I located it and the dumb ass criminals and sent 6 cops to their house…recovered all my stuff…”wow”…the lesson here is never steal technology…”
Or never leave your car open.
