Who doesn't love a dumb criminal story? Take the case of Willy Wu, who lifted a customer sign-in book from a CES booth this year. While that might not seem like a worthwhile target in a convention full of shiny new technology, the book was full of valuable business leads. Wu might have gotten away with it, if his target booth hadn't been Swann Security, a video surveillance company.
When Swann's group CEO and vice chairman Keith Oldridge noticed that the valuable book was missing, he yelled out a $1,000 reward for anyone who could catch the thief. Then he realized that he had several of his company's own security devices running at the booth and could ID the criminal himself.
Oldridge found footage of Wu's theft and showed it to CES security, who quickly tracked Wu down and recovered the book. For more, watch Las Vegas's local news report.
