GPS tracking device leads police to stolen TV
When a flat-screen television was stolen from a luxury log cabin in the Great Smokey Mountains, a Global Positioning System (GPS tracking) device attached to it, led police to its recovery.
Sheriff’s deputies in Sevier County, TN were called June 1 to the Sterling Springs Mountain Resort and Spa in Sevierville. Managers reported the burglary of a rental log cabin. One of several items stolen was a flat-screen TV. The television “told” police where it was taken.
The television had real-time GPS tracking unit installed. Using radio signals from satellites, the GPS tracking unit determined its location and sent out regular transmissions. Police traced it to a home in the neighboring town of Seymour, about 10 miles away.
