Crooks beware! We nerds can now track you down. Please don’t shoot us, we just what our iPhones back. Luckily that was the case when three men attending a Lego Convention in Chicago used Apple’s new Find My iPhone and a MobileMe account to track down a thief with a stolen iPhone.

The drama of the iPhone theft and recovery was documented on the victims website The Intermittent Kevin. Great job guys. Next time, please be careful.

Cali Lewis of Geek Brief TV tells a great version of the story. Check out the video below.
