News from Washington Post:

WASHINGTON — Victims of cellphone theft can now contact their wireless carriers and have their devices remotely disabled before they’re resold on the black market, District of Columbia officials said Monday.

Police hope to deter would-be thieves by taking the value out of stolen phones — a common target for criminals — and rendering them useless for resale. Phones that are reported stolen would be permanently deactivated, or “bricked,” police said.

U.S. Army Staff Sergeant Robert Bales, the suspect in the killings of at least 16 Afghan civilians, arrived yesterday at the U.S. military’s prison in Kansas, the Army said.

The Pentagon for the first time named the 38-year-old sniper, without indicating he has yet to be charged in the case. After being held in Afghanistan and then Kuwait, Bales was flown to Fort Leavenworth in Kansas, where he will be placed in special housing in his own cell, according to an e-mailed Army statement.
