Always good entertainment watching stolen goods turn on the thief

I have a piece of my software running on my windows mobile phone that sends gps coordinates to my server every time it has access to the internet and a gps signal. Loaded it on there after it was stolen at school once, it hasn't been stolen since, but I've never lost it after leaving it at a party either...
