Police Launch Manhunt Over Stolen Phone

Someone steals your iPhone / iPad and rips off your finger in the process? File a police report. Someone asks to use your Droid and then takes off with it? Dozens of officers conduct a yard-to-yard manhunt…complete with with police helicopter.

When asked after authorities called off the manhunt whether the response fit the crime, Nielepko said, "I think the helicopter is what threw more attention to this." He added that the response was both standard and appropriate.
