\nA young man named Jeremy Gillian stole another young man’s XBox 360 in a robbery and then turned it on\u2026 with the network and Gamertag intact. The results are as you’d expect: the victim was able to grab the IP, police tracked it to Gillian’s grandmother’s house, and the XBox and a trove of other stolen stuff were discovered.<\/p>\n

Now this story comes to us from the NY Post<\/a>, not one of the most tech savvy newspapers in our fair city. Also the thought that NYC detectives would “work with Microsoft” to track a stolen XBox is a bit hard to accept at face value, but apparently the story happened so kudos to Pelham Detective John Hynes and Microsoft for working together on this. At least a detective had a bit of fun learning about IP scanning.<\/p>\n

We should also totes send the detective a new XBox. Anyone live in Pelham, Bronx?<\/p>\n
