Camera with Eye-Fi-Card

This should stop thieves from stealing cameras.
As the story goes, a couple forgot their camera at a restaurant they were dining in and some thieves stole their camera. Unfortunate for the thieves for using the camera and having the camera post their pictures on the web because of the new Eye-Fi card that the couple had installed in the camera. All that the couple had to do was just to go back to the scene of the crime and show the photo's to the restaurant clerk in which they were able to identify the individuals and get back their camera back. So beware thieves, technology is catching up to you.

Prices of Eye-Fi card are cheap so it's worth the investment Link
