It feels to me that so many people take the internet for granted these days. Seeing how this is crunch time for around six final projects that I am working on, I am spending pretty much every waking hour trying to contact different people and compiling my research. If I had to do this twenty years ago, I'd be spending every moment pouring over dust-covered tomes in some dank part of a library trying to get the information I need. Be it catching moronic car thieves or finding the phone number of a college professor within mere seconds, you can't help but be grateful for the web.
Once in a while you run across an article that just makes your day. Obviously technology news can be very dry, but I read a short story over on the NYTimes' website which I couldn't help but love. The story, titled "It Takes a Cyber Village to Catch an Auto Thief," chronicles how the owner of an auto dealership had a car stolen from him only to have the thieves caught via an internet forum. You can read the whole story here.

Hey Jason. I liked how you did a nice lead into the article that you found. Instead of just putting, "here is this cool article I found in the New York Times," you incorporated a nice flow to lead up to it. Very interesting article too I must add.
