On this particular occasion, Kevin accidentally left his iPhone at a bar in Chicago and only realized it was missing once he was down the street. When he couldn’t find his iPhone at the bar upon returning, Kevin and his two friends, Ryan and Mark, decided to use the Find My iPhone feature that Kevin had thankfully turned on before losing the phone.

Although MobileMe reported that it wasn’t able to connect to the phone the first couple of times they tried, it eventually appeared on the radar the next morning, in a block a few miles away from the bar they’d been in the evening before. What followed was a wild chase from Medill St. to the corner of Washtenaw and Milwaukee, where the thief held up his hands in surrender and handed the phone back to “the Jack Bauer trio.”

As amazing as this feature is though, I wouldn’t recommend any of you to try your hand at it should your phone ever actually get stolen by a thief. As Kevin admits in his blog post, this could easily have gone horribly awry if, God forbid, the thief had been armed (or even just a really well-built man who had no intention of giving up the loot). It may sound like a heroic scene out of 24 on paper, but it falls strictly under the category of things not to be tried at home.
