ATLANTA (AP) -- Officials said dozens of iPads stolen from an Atlanta school are showing up as far away as southeast Asia.<br />
<br />
As many as 10 people broke into KIPP Atlanta Collegiate High School on Sept. 25 and stole 119 iPads, police said.<br />
<br />
Each of the tablet computers is equipped with a GPS tracker and a warning message that comes on when someone tries to use it, and Principal Dave Howland told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution ( http://bit.ly/17OS5qO ) the machines began showing up on tracking devices within 12 hours.<br />
<br />
Many have been in the Atlanta area, but not all were.<br />
<br />
"We had one pop up in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, about a week ago," said Howland.<br />
<br />
Two iPads and a laptop computer have been returned because of the messages. Overall, police say about $50,000 in technology was taken or damaged during the break-in.<br />
<br />
"If you bought an iPad on Craig's List for an incredibly good price, I would appreciate if someone would give us a call," Howland said.
