Here’s a good reason to hold on to your Blackberry or buy one. When a 28 year old model’s Mitsubishi Pajero car got stolen, his bb did what the police couldn’t. It helped him track it down within 12 hours.
Saif Sidiqqui had driven off to meet his friend at Laxmi Niwas. On his return he found to his shock that the car was missing. He immediately proceeded to the police to lodge an FIR. The police noted the complaint and warned him that a Pajero is always vulnerable to theft since it can be easily unlocked even with the keys of a Fiat. It is in fact rarely recovered since they have good resale value. Following this information, Saif sent out a BB update as a last resort, alerting his 300 friends. His contacts in turn shared the message to let the word be known.
Around noon the next day, a stranger responded to his message saying that he had seen such a car that matched the description in his locality in Andheri West. Saif rushed to the spot and to his utter surprise, found his Pajero waiting for him there, after which he broke down in disbelief.
