Advice to thieves: don't steal cellphones with GPS in them

So earlier this month some genius decided to steal a cellphone from the Siemens booth at this year's CeBIT tech trade fair in Germany. It was the perfect crime, except for one thing: the phone he swiped was a prototype for showing off Siemens' new GPS navigation technology. Once the people working at the booth realized the phone was missing they were able to get the phone's location by sending it a series of hidden text messages, and they had the police sent right over to arrest the unwitting culprit.
