Open-source crime-solving

Post #2 under today's theme, The Internet is Really Cool:

A Times story about a car dealer who has his rare Nissan Skyline stolen, but gets it back with help from an auto enthusiasts' forum. This happening on a larger scale would probably be bad because of the tendency toward vigilantism, but in this particular case, you've gotta admit it's pretty cool.

(I predict this has an excellent chance of making it to the NY Times Most-Emailed list.)
