Thieves Use Bluetooth to Find, Steal Laptops

Mobile phone technology is being used by thieves to seek out and steal laptops locked in cars in Cambridgeshire (UK), informs Cambridge Evening News (via The Raw Feed)

But thieves in Cambridge are using Bluetooth technology as a scanner which will let them know if another Bluetooth device is locked in a car boot.

Last month a spate of thefts from cars were put down to thieves using their phones to find laptops after three laptops were stolen from cars parked in neighbouring bays at the Holiday Inn, Impington.
