A wonderful and very useful app. But I have a couple of simple questions, forgive my ignorance….just thinking out loud.

Now that someone have all this valuable information that could be used to track down the thief……

a) Is it legal to collect this information about the thief with all the privacy laws, spying on someone without their knowledge, etc, at least here in the US?
b) Assuming it is legal, then how would someone make good use of the information to get the device back? I am thinking but not sure, if someone is to take this to law enforcement would they cooperate to get me the device back? Or is it simply going to be ignored since they probably have more important things to worry about than a stolen phone?

Any ideas?

Because if the answers to the above is not promising I strongly support the “data delete” option, at least no personal information is left on the device.
