GPS hones in on bank robbers loot
As three men raced from a Thursday morning robbery at a bank on Schoenersville Road, they didn't know about the small electronic devices tucked among the piles of cash they had grabbed at gunpoint.
They soon discovered them, but the little GPS units had already alerted police to the robbers' every move. On their screens at the Northampton County 911 center, dispatchers tracked the men as they sped away from the KNBT bank in Hanover Township.
As the robbers made their getaway, they threw out cash and at least two of the devices, Seiple said. Police radio reports said the men ditched their stolen getaway car along Woodside Road in Hanover. But, police said, a third tracking device soon led them to an Allentown home at 12th and Tilghman streets. Police and FBI agents surrounded the home and arrested three men matching the description of the robbers.

Victim Purposely Smashes Her Motorbike Into Purse Thief
A feisty Malaysian woman went to extremes when her purse was snatched by a motorcycle-riding thief. But she wasn't giving up her prized possession so easily. She gave chase on her own motorbike!
Possibly inspired by Angelina Jolie's bike chase in Tomb Raider the determined 41-year old woman chased the snatcher for 100 meters. After driving the thief down she intentionally crashed her bike into his, causing them both to fall off. She then screamed for help, attracting passerby’s who apprehended the man.
The robber was handed over to police, who believe he was also involved in other purse snatching cases around the Cukai area of Northeast Malaysia.
How many women would have the guts to do something like this?
