A webcam and Apple's .Mac subscription service resulted in the arrest of two thieves and the recovery of Kait Dupalga's Mac laptop. Dupalga, an employee at the Apple Store in White Plains, N.Y., lost her Mac when thieves broke into an apartment she shares with two roommates. The thieves took the computer along with televisions, DVDs, iPods, a box of liquor, and even a set of car rims.

But thanks to some high-tech sleuthing by Dupalga -- plus the fact that the thieves were known to the victims -- police were able to nab the alleged perpetrators: Edmon Shahikian, 23, and Ian Frias, 20.
