They way i did it was through the serial port usinf a data cable but mine is very messy and basiclly have VB Script to get data from the gps program and send it through to my mobile

Easier way is the nokia SDK Kit

Nokia Forum Link

U can use this to create a program (if u know programming) for it to do anything you need using sms

It only supports older phones which are cheap to come by like the 51xx and 32xx series and abit higher up aswell

Here is a semi free Active X module

It allows you to send and recieve sms and read the first 10 people in the phone book it also adds the website to the start and finish of the message but if its to just control stuff its perfect.

There are quite alot of free programs out there i basiclly got one that saved text messages to a directory as a txt file and got VBSCRIPT to read that folder every min or so and then it would check the text see if it was a command and run another script for that command and delete the text file of the sms

For the non PC control i used hardware in a kit i got from a place in australia

jaycar Link

It does allow you to buy from usa if u really wanted it but u need to know how to solder ;)

Sorry to thread hijack

He found the items at Maverick? What's that? And here's some evidence... you didn't leave it at Maverick. Ultimately, it's your word against his, though. In criminal court you need to be found guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. But in civil court, you only need a preponderance of the evidence. In other words, the jury think your case is just stronger than his. So even if it doesn't work out in criminal court, you can always have a better chance in civil court. That's what happened to OJ Simpson.

I think it means the guy is claiming somebody else stole it and left the pieces there.  He just "found" them.

It also sounds like the guy is going to pay back the buyer, and return the GPS, so you can only sue him for any damage done to your car, which probably isn't going to be as expensive as the lawyer you'll need, and that's only if you win.

Prooving he didn't just find it might be hard.  I doubt the CSI team was called in over this.  Although melarky may still have some more cards left up his sleeve.



Has this been put on any news sites?

This is a great story, you should call your local paper.

But he found it should he had try to give it to the police or try to find who the woner was instead of selling it stright away

He actually knew it was stolen cause even if he found it that means it belongs to someone so he stole it and tried to sell it so isn't that a crime in itself?

AlanS17:

If a misplaced item is recovered and the true owner can't be found, it typically becomes property of the place where it was found, not the person who found it... at least that's how I recall it from my law class.
