Patriots' Gostkowski helped police recover his stolen iPad (The Associated Press)

WRENTHAM, Mass. (AP) -- New England Patriots' kicker Stephen Gostkowski is a Super Bowl winner, an All Pro, and now a crime solver.

The Sun Chronicle (http://bit.ly/1VY5mt4 ), citing court records, reports that Gostkowski helped police find his iPad after it was stolen from his truck outside his home in January.

First, he forwarded to police a half-dozen selfies of a stranger he found on his iCloud account. Then he tried to locate the iPad through an application that uses GPS technology to locate stolen devices.

The iPad was tracked to a home in Woonsocket, Rhode Island.
