Stolen laptop sends picture to owner

NEWPORT NEWS, Va. (WAVY) - A woman, whose laptop computer was stolen during a burglary to her home, was surprised five days after the crime when a picture was e-mailed to her from the stolen laptop of two people she does not know.

The computer was stolen from a 25-year-old Newport News woman's home along with some other items on January 16. The computer is set up to automatically e-mail pictures taken from the laptop's camera to the owner.
