The Buffalo News Police Blotter reports that a pair of thieves stole Xbox wireless controllers and police tracked them down by contacting the manufacturer. Maybe this is standard operating procedure for the cops, but it was new to this submitter. Any idea of the mechanism(s) involved?
No explicit mention of Microsoft — perhaps these controllers were made by a third party to work with Xbox.

They use French in NW New York! Who knew?
As for being tracked by the controllers, I'm not a bit surprised. The X-Box runs with DRM, so why not licence rights for devices connected to it. Also the police must be bored in Lockport, going to all that trouble to track down a couple of petty thieves.
