Note to potential criminals: if you steal an Xbox 360, then play on Live with it, Microsoft will help the local PD track you down. Just ask Bronx-based crim, 22-year-old Jeremiah Gilliam.

LoHud reports Pelham police Detective Rick Deer stating, "We recovered so much, I just didn't know where to start." This follows his team's capture of Gilliam and a hoard of goodies.

The wrongdoer was discovered following "a search warrant obtained by tracing through Microsoft and the Internet provider where an online game was being played with the stolen Xbox."

'Lamer' and 'N00b' spring to mind.
