This calls for a rather childish saying:
(to the thief)
"what a burn, what a cut, stick your finger up your...."
Good work guys!

Was the app Google Latitude?

Apple doesn't allow Google Latitude on the iPhone. In reports I read, it was Apple's paid service, MobileMe, which lead to the recovery.
If you jailbreak the iPhone, you can purchase an app, Longitude, which will update Latitude every 15 minutes.
There is, however, a better solution "iLocalis" (also require jailbreaking) which not only updates Google Latitude, but also offers many of the features offered by MobileMe at a fraction of the annual cost.
