flickr to find a stolen notebook

As reported on the Vancover Sun,
A man worked on a stolen iMac and he made pictures of himself with the webcam. Since the machine was already configured to upload [yet only after he clicked “ok” to the transfer, making this even funnier] to the rightful owner’s Flickr account, suddenly they appeared.

Now everybody can see the picture of the thief on their site. Maybe a way to protect your computer... But the thief should be really stupid :-)
