Kevin Miller managed to use Find My iPhone, a laptop, and a mobile Internet connection to track down his stolen iPhone.
I raced back into the bar, not even particularly concerned, but it was gone like baby. In less than five minutes, with very few people in the small place, my beloved JesusPhone had managed to vanish into a black hole. Our waitress was sympathetic, and I left a number, but I was immediately glum about my prospects of seeing it again. So I felt like about zero cents, but then we giddily realized that I had *just* activated the brand-new Find My iPhone service. Even better, Mark had a Sprint (yes, Sprint) USB dongle giving him Internet access over 3G on his MacBook Pro. Excited to try it out, we hopped onto me.com and clicked the Find My iPhone link.
Kevin recovered his iPhone thanks to MobileMe.

Why is there no link to the full story? I had to do an internet search to find it, and was very entertained by reading it, but I’m annoyed that I had to do a separate search to find the other 4/5ths of the story.
