| Quote: | | 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 thieve 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 thieves 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 thieves 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!. |

I wish this happened when mine got stolen.
Fingerprints of someone on file are almost as good though, but none of my stuff ever got recovered =(

I'm guessing this lucky person had his PSP on him while he was out otherwise the thief might have stolen that too. I should really connect my PSP to my PS3 too.

Reminds me of the guy who found his stolen Xbox by using the wireless controller to track it down.

^guessing that the victim didn't recognise the thief but the cops did, probably a repeat offender unknown to the victim..

EPIC! I bet he was thinking he was such an idiot to connect it to the net if it was stolen.

I remember reading this years ago in a newspaper and I guess it's time to resurrect old news for this thread  .
Geek.com - Student injured urinating on PS2
| Quote: | This story can be filed away as another incidence of Darwinism in action. A University of Wyoming student was injured after attending a party in which a friend was celebrating the purchase of a new gaming console.
Gary Wells had decided to invite a few friends over after he had bought a new PlayStation 3. Part of the festivities included the destruction of his old PlayStation 2 for which Wells held a drawing to see which one of his friends would put the old console out of its misery.
Later that evening, Wells held the drawing with friend and fellow student Mike Post being named the winner. Post, who was intoxicated by this time, immediately staggered over to the corner of the room where the PlayStation 2 was still plugged into a small television. Post then surprised everyone by urinating on the PS2–did I mention the console was still plugged in?
Amusement then turned to concern as Post fell unconscious and was rushed to Ivinson Memorial Hospital. Fortunately for him he was released the next day with no serious injuries. |
