[iPhone God App] It was found using the Trap a Thief : Credit Cards Trap actually
As the account details scroll (to keep him busy as the app tries to get more accurate location), you get a first estimate location by email and then more and more accurate emails. After we are done, the thief will see a "Database sync error: Try after 30 minutes" message. If the thief falls for it, he will try again after 30 minutes !
EMAIL SERVER: This app uses a very reliable external server. And mails are sent out immediately. No server settings are required.
The setup is simple. Just fill in the email address where the notifications need to be send and any password (for later access of the location data). Initially the app is in Owner Mode. After setup, go to the iPhone / iPod touch Settings (the global Settings from the device home page) and scroll to the Credit Cards app's settings and set Owner Mode to OFF. And there you go, the Credit Cards Trap is all set to track your stolen device.
IMPORTANT:
1) IMMEDIATE FIRST EMAIL: The sends the first mail right away so that you have a fair idea (just in case, the thief stops the app soon). Please do not submit a negative review based on that. As the app stays on, it tracks more accurately and sends you emails with more exact location. Detection may vary with places but does the best.
2) ASKING FOR LOCATION PERMISSION: PLEASE read the instructions on the app during setup. It mentions clearly how you need to get in and out of the app twice to get rid of the default iPhone behavior where it asks for permission. If you follow the instructions, it will not ask for permission again. It is unfortunate that a few reviewer were impatient and did not follow what the app asks you to follow.
This app uses the same technology as the other popular apps in the series "Password Trap" and "Power Off Trap". So it is bug free and is extremely reliable.

This app really works well. When opened it sends several emails to you with (an increasingly closer) googlemaps link of the location of the device. The tests I've done were spot on. Made by the same person as Password Trap which used to have issues, but is also now much improved. Similar suggestion for further improvement though - PLEASE change the subject title of the emails because "Device location tracking details" will totally give the game away if the thief looks at your email!

Seems a bit weak security that you can just set the owner mode back to "on" without a password Also, another idea. A thief is likely to immediately use your phone to make expensive long distance calls. So why not make a fake phone dialler, which appears to dial, then spends ages connecting before giving an engaged tone.
Change the subject

I agree, change the subject of the email just incase the thief reads your emails.
