A Trenton man used his iPad to track down an iPhone he said had been stolen at about 11:30 a.m. Aug. 20 in the 1700 block of Oakwood Drive.
The man told Trenton police he was cutting his grass and had his iPhone with headphones on the passenger seat of a vehicle parked in his driveway when an unknown person went into the vehicle and took his iPhone.
The man said he tracked the phone to the 2900 block of Charlton Street by using his iPad. Police responded to the location and spoke to resident who told police he and his daughter had not left the house at all that day.

That's rotten. If he is able to track it and show where it is, isn't that enough for the police to do what it takes to recover it? I would just keep tracking it and see if you can catch them in public. I'm sure that isn't what you are "supposed" to do but I would be mad. The people were not "supposed" to steal it either.
Not to excuse what they did but people need to quit being stupid and leaving things (purses, wallets, electronicas, etc) out in the open in cars (locked or unlocked). You are asking for trouble.

That's rotten....YES!
I want this crime to be solved!
Maybe the thief tossed the phone into bushes?
Did they call the phone while the police officer was at the door....(aha!)
