8 Year Old Captures House Burglar Using Ipad, Thinks He's Real Life Kevin McCallister Now

HuffPo - A burglar allegedly responsible for multiple break-ins was outsmarted last week by an 8-year-old boy. Third-grader Landon Crabtree used a tracking device application he'd downloaded to find an iPad and other possessions recently stolen from his family's home in Manchester, Tenn. He activated the app from a computer in his house and it revealed that the pilfered iPad was at a nearby motel, the Tennessean reported. "You don't mess with our family," said Landon, who wants to be an FBI agent when he grows up, according to WTVF. 

Fricken kids these days, everything is just handed to them, everything's so simple. Here this kid is thinking he's some kind of crime fighting wunderkind all because he flicked a toggle switch and activated some app on his Ipad...pfffft. Yea, congrats on getting your family's stuff back kid, but slow ya roll with that "You don't mess with our family," stuff. You're no Kevin McCallister. 

Kevin handle his shit like a man, he didn't have google and modern tablet technology, he didn't run to the cops, and he certainly didn't have mom and dad help him out. None of that stopped him from building the most elaborate and diabolical booby traps this side of Mouse Trap and taking down the Sticky (formerly known as Wet) bandits, not once, but twice.  

That's a bit more of an accomplishment than some kid taking a five minute break from Angry Birds and geo-tracking some idiot robber from the comfort of his couch. I mean, what did that take you, all of 4 minutes? Probably had it neatly wrapped up during a Sponge Bob commercial break.


PS: I will say this though, this kids Facebook creeping skills are going to be off the charts.
