Hoax!

MANISTEE, Mich. - Police have an all-points-bulletin out for the man who sold them a computer program they say is eating up their case records. The program, called Crime Tracker, was billed as a way for police to keep track of cases and was sold to around 25 police departments across Michigan. The Manistee County sheriff's office estimates it has lost four year's worth of data, and other departments are having similar problems. To top it off, the software maker has vanished. The man used to live in Battle Creek and is believed to be in Australia. Attempts to reach him have failed.
