Will.i.am went on a furious hunt for justice after some scumbag broke into his Bentley last week and now cops say Will's detective work -- aided by his iPad -- may have brought down a one-man crime wave. 
As TMZ first reported, some bad guy made off with over $10,000 worth of the rapper's jewelry and personal property -- including a sleek new iPad -- when he broke into the Black Eyed Peas member's ride ... which was parked in the Hollywood Hills.
But according to law enforcement sources, Will had a secret weapon -- he used his iPad's built-in tracking system to locate the thief's whereabouts ... and then forwarded the info to cops.
We're told police already got most of Will.i.am's stuff returned to him and are this close to arresting the perp -- who's currently on the run.

Good for him. Most always, one never gets their goods backed when they get robbed.
So now TMZ is getting paid by APPLE to spread PR 'feel-good' stories. Lame.
He is a great person . Along with being a crime stopper, his foundation helps desrving students get a college degree. Yeh!
I really like Will.I.Am - he seems to be trying to do good things with his money. But who the hell leaves $10K worth of stuff in their car?!?!?!!? If I left that much money worth of stuff in my car I would EXPECT it to be broken in too....... Take your crap out or put it out of site.
Everyone in the neighborhood knows its his car because he parks in the redzone when he visits his girlfriend. He probably racks up $10,000 in parking tickets a year!!
Leaving $10K worth of **** in your Bentley is ridiculously stupid. Too bad the dumbass thief wasn't smart enough to ditch the iPad.
