Wow, Naomi, that really sucks. I'm glad you're okay, and you got your iPad.
It's good to hear about Oakland police doing something quickly and efficiently.

So, ah, watch yourselves.
I was transferring my iPad to my backpack when 2 muggers wrenched it out of my hands and
a third one maced me right in the eyes. 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.
