This person stole an iPod from Adrian Smith, manager at the Nottingham-based Apple reseller. It was stold from his car and the criminal walked into KRCS later seeking for cable.
Smith told Macworld: “I immediately recognized it. I told the bloke I�????d have to try different cables, and when I plugged the iPod into the Macintosh it came up as ‘Adrian�????s iPod’ straight away.”
A quick-thinking Smith told the ‘customer’ he�????d have to check the iPod further, and while fellow staff-member Iain McKechnie kept the thief talking, Smith called the police, who recognized the description Adrian gave of the man and responded instantly.
An arrest was made on the spot, with Nottingham city police congratulating Adrian on his instant recognition of his own property and prompt reactions.
haha…what a luck for the thief and Adrian Smith.
