Hi tech defense

Even though this report is from May 2006, it should still be well worth a read. Good use of technology, I'd say!

Japan -- A youngster used her cell phone to alert Kai police that a friend was being abducted, leading to the arrest of a kidnapping suspect.

The suspect allegedly tried to grab a 6-year-old girl Tuesday as she left the JR Shiozaki Station in Kai. The suspect fled on a motorbike after the girl set off a security alarm in her bag.

Her friend got a photo of the teenager and the license plate of his motorbike, as he sped away, information that enabled police to track the 16-year-old down.
