Wireless Controller HELPS Recover `Stolen 360
A Missouri State student came back to his dorm to find his Xbox
360 stolen. Realizing the controller still connected when turned it on,
he set out to find the console. And he did.
This is probably the only set of circumstances in which this would
work — 360 stolen, thief lives 30 feet away, that's only gonna happen
in a college dorm. But credit to Ryan Ketsenberg for using some
critical thinking and old fashioned sleuthing to get his stuff back and
bust a thief.
According to The Standard (newspaper of Missouri State):
Ketsenburg, who lives in Hutchens House, said that after his Xbox was
stolen, he turned on his wireless Xbox controller and found that it was
still connecting to his Xbox. Based on this discovery, Ketsenburg said
he realized that his Xbox must be nearby, he said.
The controller connected to the Xbox on the fourth, fifth and sixth
floors of Hutchens but not on the third floor and seventh floor, so
through process of elimination, Ketsenburg said he figured out that the
stolen Xbox must be on the fifth floor.
Following the controller's signal, Ketsenburg said he was able to pinpoint the room where his Xbox was stolen.
The Xbox 360 wireless controller has a 30-foot range, according to the
Xbox Web site. When looking for his Xbox, Ketsenburg said the
light-emitting diodes of the controller flashed when he was out of
range.
The 5th floor resident assistant checked the alleged room where the
stolen Xbox was and was able to find the Xbox, Ketsenburg said.
Best part? They recovered the console before the thief got home to notice it was now missing from his dorm.
Ketsenberg said his hard drive was formatted, so he's really upset
about that. But then again, he got his console back. And he's not the
one who's (presumably) getting kicked out of school.
