Did the camera have a red eye?

If the adage that stupid criminals are the only ones that get caught remains true, then it seems to also be the case that modern criminals have to be smarter than the technology they're stealing. Case in point, an Eye-Fi digital camera turned out to be smarter than either the owner or the thieves when it phoned home after being stolen during a trip to Florida. Charges weren't pressed but the pair who took the camera was fired from the restaurant where the camera was left behind. So the next time you get an itch to take that tech toy that someone thoughtlessly left behind, be careful. It may be smarter than you are.
