No one said a life of crime would be easy... A father & son team in Lindenhurst, NY made off with 14 GPS devices. Upon returning home, the GPS bandits looked more closely at their booty, and found out that they had not stolen cell phones, as they had originally thought, but instead had absconded with 14 GPS devices.
The men didn’t know what the devices were, and out of curiosity powering up one of the units. Shortly thereafter, Suffolk County police quickly zeroed in on the missing units using GPS tracking, which lead the police right to the man’s front door. The cops arrested the man, his 13-yar old son, and their 20-year old culprit on burglary and grand larceny charges. According to the Associated Press, the GPS devices were stolen from a local garage that installs GPS in snow plows, dump trucks, street sweepers, and other such vehicles.
