      XPost: alt.gossip.celebrities, alt.politics.democrats.d, sac.general       XPost: alt.rush-limbaugh       From: daily.mexican@gazette.com              This special delivery led authorities right to their suspect.              A suspected "porch pirate" in California was arrested Thursday       after police used a bait package that had a GPS locator inside.              The Anaheim Police Department said on Facebook that Leonard       Ramos, 34, was taken into custody after a package was stolen       from a home around 5 a.m. last Thursday.              Authorities arrested the 34-year-old shortly after the package       was taken and alerted authorities to his location, Sgt. Shane       Carringer told City News Service.              The department has been using the bait package system since the       summer in order to improve efforts to solve cases and make       potential thieves think twice about grabbing something from a       porch, especially during the busy holiday season.              "The deterrent factor is huge," Carringer told City News Service.              The bait package program by the department utilizes GPS       technology that communicates with nearby cell towers and is       triggered once the package moves.              Police then get updates on its location every three seconds,       which includes how fast the package is moving, CBS LA reported.              After his arrest on Thursday, Ramos was booked into the the       Orange County Sheriff's Intake Release Center.              He is being held on $20,000 bail, according to inmate records.              https://www.foxnews.com/us/california-porch-pirate-anaheim-gps-       bait-package                      --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
