    Looter pwned

    "So during the London riots I return home the next morning to find my flat ransacked and my Macbook Pro laptop stolen!
    Police showed up, took a report and dusted for prints, performed typical forensics... One thing they did not expect was that I had installed the amazing open source tracking software from http://preyproject.com/"

              Some muppet installing software he found on the internet and then using it for its intended purpose does not a hacker make.

                ok it's obvious he's not a hacker (macker more like) but what justice anyway!! would love to be able to do something like that, I would have had some fun with his facebook/email contact list first though, I'd have logged in and told all his freinds/family that he was one of the looters, change is password and repeat for all other sites he belongs to, in fact I'd continue to mess with his accounts as an act of ongoing revenge....
