“When his iPad was stolen from church, Xin Shi might have been tempted to pray for its return,” The Daily Mail reports.
“But instead he turned to a different object in the sky to help him track down his stolen gadget – a satellite,” The Daily Mail reports. “Mr Shi was able to locate the device using the ‘Find my iPad’ app, and lead the police straight to the man who stole it.”
The Daily Mail reports, “He was at St Nicholas’s Cathedral, Newcastle, when thief Ronald Bowe snatched his bag, containing the iPad, from the back of the church as he prayed.”

There should have been a guard there to shoot him in the head.
Lol
LOL!
I think every time someone steels an Apple device from an Apple Store, Apple should be tracking them and giving the police a blow by blow of where there are during their escape. This should be made public and these idiots will stop taking iPhones, iPads and iPods.
DrDudeTx – that’s blasphemy.
It takes an extra dose of scumbag to steal in a church…
Was it Ronald the albino monk?
How low can you be to steal in church?

You caught me. It was in the print dialog box. 28 years is a long time and I misremembered.
What penance can I perform to remain in your good graces.
Dogcow still says Moof!.

Good thing that the thief didn’t know how to turn off that feature.
Well, that’ll teach you to pray! Silly human!
The moral of the story is that no prayers were necessary to recover the stolen goods. As usual.

Re: “The moral of the story is that no prayers were necessary to recover the stolen goods. As usual.”
Bravo, well-said!
Re Mike
Moral–1. of, pertaining to, or concerned with the principles or rules of right conduct or the distinction between right and wrong; ethical: moral attitudes.
And 2. the moral teaching or practical lesson contained in a fable, tale, experience, etc.
It seems you are using the word moral to support that no morals are needed?
…do these crooks even understand what they are stealing?
Thieves are not very bright. It has to be harder than working.
1, You have to, generally, work nights,
2. The stress must be murder.
3. The income is crap. A study a few years ago suggested that a very successful thief nets about $30K a year. (averaged up for inflation)
4. You have to hang around with thieves.
5. You have to sell a $1K thing for $100 to a fence.
6 You WILL spend much time in jail chasing the soap.
7. It’s often physically hard work.
8. There is no dental plan.
I could go on, but …..
It doesn’t seem like a golden job to me.
