This is a popular topic, at the moment, on the PS3 forums. Perhaps others, reading this, will think twice about taking someone's high-tech equipment.

So this past Wednesday Dec 16th somebody broke into my apartment while I was at work and stole about 24 ps3 video games, 45 ps3 games, 52 snes games, all of my consoles including my PS3 and components including a PS3 camera. What the thief didn't know is that I had my PS3 connected to my PSP. As some of you know, once you hook up your PSP to your PS3 you can remotely control your PS3 through your PSP through a local or internet connection. I tried every day, every hour to see if by any chance the thieve connected the PS3 to the internet, surely on Friday Dec 18th at around 11:30pm I was able to turn on the PS3 from my home by using my PSP using my internet connection. I opened a chat room, turned on the camera and surely enough I got to see a close look at the thief's face! (probably looking at it wondering why the PS3 had turned on by itself!!!), with my digital camera readily available I took a picture of the PSP screen with the thief's face!! Called the police and they quickly recognized the person!!!! LONG STORY SHORT, I GOT MY PS3 WITH NO DAMAGE WHATSOEVER AND ALL OF MY GAMES WERE RECOVERED!.
Awesome story.

That is something amazing right there, and a function you're not going to find on another system. What's next, PS3 Nanny cams controlled remotedly by the PS3?

Before you go home to those possibly quite hungry neighbors, stop by and pick up your very own PSZ Annihilator!

Thats amazing.
Its good thing he knew how to work all that stuff, if it was me all my stuff would probably have been lost forever since im not good at figuring all that out
Thats awesome that the guy go this stuff back. Sometimes even if you know who it is, the police just don't care. Still trying to convince the police to allow me to equip my stuff with C4 and a GPS tracking system....

haha.. wouldn't the All-Spark solve the problem buy causing the PS3 to bust out automatics and mini rocket launchers?? Starting to sound like the PSZ even more! lol
