Tracking a Move Via "Find My iPhone"

dmolnar writes "I recently helped my girlfriend move her stuff from Chicago, IL to Oakland, CA. The movers were scheduled to arrive at 8AM on the 5th of July, and we were stressing the day before about all the things that could go wrong with a move. We realized that if we knew where her stuff was, it'd make us feel better. This is a story about using the $99 iPhone to track the move ... and about a somewhat surprising potential use of Find My iPhone to track your friends' iPhones without them noticing."

The iPhone 3G is now priced at $99 with contract, and the 3G S is now priced at $199 and $299, depending on 16 or 32GB

No. He purchased the iPhone solely for tracking this move. Once the move was completed, he threw the iPhone away.
