Police say an iPhone left in a stolen truck is how officers were able to capture a burglar suspected of multiple auto break-ins in Colorado Springs.

Officials at the El Pas County Sheriff's office said 29-year-old Joshua Mitzelfelt stole a truck left unattended and running in a driveway. The owner's iPhone was on the front seat.

The truck's owner began tracking his vehicle's location though a website monitoring the phone's GPS application while updating sheriff dispatchers. Officers spotted the truck about seven miles from the owner's residence and arrested the driver.

"Instant Heart Attack" sandwich goes to court

A popular New York City deli says a potential legal challenge to its "Instant Heart Attack" sandwich isn't kosher.

The lawsuit filed Tuesday in federal court says the Heart Attack Grill has accused the 2nd Avenue Deli of stealing its idea to spoof healthy eating with calorie-bomb entrees like the three-patty "Triple Bypass Burger." It asks the court to block the Arizona restaurant chain from pursuing a trademark infringement case.

The "Instant Heart Attack" sandwich is a mountain of two potato pancakes and a piled high choice of corned beef, pastrami, turkey or salami. The price: $23.95.

The Manhattan deli also has plans for a new "Triple Bypass" sandwich.

There was no immediate response to a message left with an attorney for the Heart Attack Grill.
