British stage star John Owen-Jones recently turned detective after his mobile was snatched on the streets of London. Rather than simply blocking the device, he monitored its global trek across continents until it settled in a massive electronics hub. His decision to follow the trail led him directly to the heart of China's 'Silicon Valley' for a startling discovery.
