You have to love this! Again, off topic a bit as it isn't about a self defense weapon but this is a nice story of where technology wins out over the bad guys! It does fall into the category of "best self defense"!One other thing it points out is having strangers come to your house from online sales sites. You must always be prepared for these type of home invasion, as it is one.... a home robbery and thus you need to take safe guards against this type of attack....

An Ellis County man used an app on his stolen iPad to help police track down a group of armed robbers.
WFAA-TV (Channel 8) talked to the man, who asked that his name not be used, about a sale on Craigslist that didn't go as planned.
The robbers showed up at the man's Ovilla house, presumably to buy his MacBook, which he'd listed for sale on the auction website.
It soon became clear that they had no intention of paying for the computer, and they also demanded his iPad, at gunpoint.
Fortunately for the victim, he'd downloaded a "find my iPhone" application that allowed police to track the robbers.
They were arrested on the Dallas North Tollway 45 minutes after the robbery.
