Well not really, but if they had, I would have been able to test out this method to find it.

A student from Missouri State University awoke one morning, to find that his xbox 360 had been stolen while he was sleeping. Luckily, the thief had left behind the controller, and it was still linked wirelessly to the console, which meant that the console was still in the same building. Using knowledge of the controller's range (about 30 yards), the student was able to conclude which floor the 360 was on, and narrow down which rooms it could be in. With the help of the floor RA, the xbox was then found, and proven that it was the stolen xbox (since the controller was still linked, it could turn on and off the stolen xbox, proving that it was stolen).

I take everything I ever said about "THE BUTTON" back. I remember watching E3 05 (when E3 still mattered to developers, thank you media for ruining this year's E3, we love it when you get involved in things!) during the Microsoft conference, and just laughing at the concept of a button on the controller to turn on the console. How lazy do you have to get to not be able to push the on button on your console (That and it was easy to bash microsoft, did you see that killzone 2 demo! Those graphics were fucking amazing! And that duck, just look at that duck!). Even after owning a 360, I still mocked THE BUTTON, and occasionally hit it (to the frustration of those I played with) instead of the start button. But now, THE BUTTON has proven it's worth.

So not only must we congratulate the 360's wireless controller and button (FUCK YA BUTTON!), but we must commend the student from Missouri State University. Not only does he have the endurance to live in the state of Misery.....err Missouri (I'm beginning to think that's why so many people who've lived there too long call it MIZZURAH, because they are afraid to admit how much it sounds like misery), but he also used logic to get his stuff back in a pretty bad ass (read hard boiled) way. The only thing that could have been more bad ass, would be to pop out of nowhere as the thief exists the room, Oblivion style. STOP RIGHT THERE CRIMINAL SCUM!
