A man was lucky to have a tracker on his iPad after his Jacksonville, FL., home was ransacked by burglars, multiple computers, clothes and other items were stolen. The burglars even went as far as leaving the stove on in an attempt to torch the residence. And they would have gotten away with it too, if it wasn't for that meddling iPad tracker.
The Jacksonville Sheriff's Office Facebook page says that on Saturday, August 24, 2013, police were dispatched to a home in the 1000 block of Fountain Road in reference to a burglary to a residence.
The victim stated he returned to his home from being gone for about 6 hours around 11:30 a.m. and discovered his residence was burglarized. He pointed out a set of tire tracks in the grass which led from his front driveway around to the back yard and back. All four electric coil burners on his stove were on "HIGH" and several napkins were smoldering. The victim believes he got home just in time or his residence would have burned. The napkins were located in the upper cabinet which was open when he came in.
The residence was ransacked. Every room had been entered by the unknown suspects. Computers, televisions, surround sound system, camera, clothing, towels and other items were found stolen. The victim was missing an iPad and had a fix on his iPhone which showed the location of the iPad around 1214 Labelle Street.
The victim rode with officers to 1214 Labelle Street and tracked the iPad, where police observed suspect Danyrell Floyd, 28 years old, sitting on the steps in front of an apartment with what appeared to be a tablet device in her lap. It was determined it was the victim’s iPad.
Suspect Christopher Deering, 25 years old, was standing located in front of a nearby apartment wearing the victim’s monogrammed T-shirt with the victim’s name "Larry" embroidered on the front and also wearing his FSU Pajama bottoms, that were stolen. The T-shirt was custom made for the victim’s personal use.
The suspects were arrested for Arson, Burglary, and Dealing in Stolen Property and booked into jail. The expression on their faces pretty much sums it all up. Duh!
