So, I think that technology innovation is awesome. Nearly every form of innovation, really. Although, when it comes to money, that’s when the big dogs come out to play. Forget the lame ass dye packs of the 90′s. A bank in Illinois recently had about 9 grand stolen from them. Thing was two of the bundles of cash had GPS trackers in them.
I think that was a damn smart idea. Here is my issue though, Wired.com reported on it and told them how long it took them to actually pinpoint the robbers. To the minutes. So if I ever decided to rob a bank, I know now to look for dye packs before I leave, and GPS trackers after I’m out.
