From KOB-TV.com - An Albuquerque man was busted red handed by a laptop he reportedly stole. Burglars reportedly stole $4,000 worth of items including an HP laptop with security software installed on the computer that takes a photo of anyone who who opens the computer once the anti-theft software is activated. It wasn’t the first Chris Ortiz’s mother had her home burglarized, so he decided to be proactive and installed the software to help his mom. "As I was driving I remembered I had installed tracking software on the computer I had given her, I activated the software,” he said. The free software is called GadgetTrak, and it can also track whatever device it’s activated on with a wireless signal. That tool led the Albuquerque Police Department to a house on the 300 block of 55th Street. On Wednesday, Ortiz received e-mails with pictures of Diego Torres. "After a couple times of him opening it I was able to see his house, his bedroom and then I got a photo of the guy himself,” Ortiz said. Police said Torres, 24, had his photo taken on the laptop several times and had possession of the stolen material. His father returned the stolen laptop, but Torres hasn’t been arrested. A $15,000 cash surety warrant was issued for his arrest, and police don’t know for sure if he actually stole the items. Read more
