Laptop takes secret pictures of thieves

The owner of a stolen laptop has received pictures of the new owners after he installed sneaky software into it.

Dom Deltorto, who lives in North London, installed tracking software –Hidden App – onto his laptop in case the computer was ever taken, and now the device's built-in camera has been sending him images of people in Iran who are using it.

As well as the pictures, the laptop software can report its own location and it sends Dom pictures of the family using it every time they do.

While Metropolitan Police have reported the matter to Interpol, they warned Dom his case is unlikely to be investigated for a few years as it is not a priority.
