Hi Naomi,Really sorry this happened. Even more glad that you are ok! That's the first time I've heard of the cops actually using "Find My Phone" stuff. Tech savy cops are a good thing.I know that every situation is different and who knows if this could have been prevented, but maybe it's time to get serious about holding a self defense class at Sudo Room.Point of information: There are security cameras at 2141 Broadway. They are IP cameras. The land lord gave us access at some point.--Andrew--On Tue, Apr 9, 2013 at 10:07 AM, Marina Kukso <marina.kukso@gmail.com> wrote:naomi, i'm so sorry that this happened to you, but like anca, i'm happy that you were able to get help right away.- marina

I mean not just a little spray, a serious "I mean to blind you" lengthy spray.An emergency team showed up about 6 minutes after the incident, and the cops showed up about 8 minutes after. They were very helpful.One of them asked if I had "Find my Phone" installed, which I did. They activated it and located the iPad right away. They detained 2 suspects who were carrying the iPad.I sat in the back of a cop car as they stood under the light. One suspect wasn't so clear to me, and I said so -- I wasn't sure. The other suspect was *definitely* the girl who maced me, so I said so. They let the guy go and took the girl in. That felt really weird.I'm going to write this up in more detail on my blog, because my face feels like it's melting off so I'm not going to be able to sleep anyway.What a strange experience._______________________________________________
