A US mum tracked down a thief who burgled her home after the ill-gotten gains were
offered for sale on eBay. Karen Todd, a US Census Bureau computer programmer,
spotted a personally-inscribed iPod on the auction site weeks after it
was robbed from her Washington DC area home.
Todd's home was burgled on 7 April. Thieves made off with an Apple iBook laptop,
a digital camera, an amethyst dinner ring inherited from Todd's grandmother and
the iPod. The latter, a Christmas gift from Todd to her husband Dan, was
inscribed with lyrics from the song Have a Little Faith in Me, by John Hiatt.
