The iPhone app sends off the ID of a missing device into the cloud.

Other devices download a list of "stolen" IDs, and send back a report w/ GPS info if it ever gets a hit.

I love the concept.

It just needs such a huge infrastructure to become useful.

Maybe an API that other apps could insert, with a way to monetize, such as a reward system?
