iPhone used to stop burglary 1,400 miles away
A man has been able to stop burglars raiding his house despite being 1,400 miles away -- by using an £2.60 app on his iPhone.
Vince Hunter had installed an iCam app on his iPhone which notified him when motion sensors in his home in Dallas, were triggered.
He was then able to watch a video stream from CCTV cameras and saw a pair of burglars breaking into his home -- all from his phone some 1,400 miles away.
As he watched the men smash a glass door with a brick, police were called and the would-be burglars quickly fled empty-handed.
Hunter then watched armed police arrive and search the house… and to think the most interesting thing I've done with my mobile is check Twitter from the toilet.

Police say they now hope to use the video camera footage to track down the burglars who are believed to be behind a spate of crime.
