Stolen SA iPad helps recover itself

South Australian police have recovered a stolen iPad after its owner used built-in tracking applications to pin-point the location of the device.

The iPad was stolen from a car in the Adelaide CBD late on Monday and recovered by police after the owner tracked it via its built-in GPS and other "clever applications", including Google maps, police said.

Police said they found it in a house in north-west suburban Woodville Gardens, and a 16-year-old boy has been charged with receiving, unlawful possession and breach of bail.

He will appear in the Port Adelaide Youth Court later on Tuesday.
