“Meth amphetamine, about 780 pounds of the stuff, were discovered in a Palo Alto, California apartment by police tracking a stolen iPad,” Carlson reports. “Quite naturally, the cops were using the Apple tablet’s built-in ‘Find My iPad’ feature, which leverages the device’s integrated GPS and displays its location on a user’s iCloud account page.
