CNN - Facebook Solves The Crime

I find this story to be particularly telling.

A guy gets his vehicle trashed with lots of cab items stolen. His wife writes on Facebook about the crime. The word circulates on Facebook and someone gives up some critical information that leads to an arrest.

There is a lot to be said about this where a social networking system also becomes a law enforcement vehicle. Its as if surveillance could become an internal messaging system.
