Watching my phone drive across town

Crap. I know exactly where my Android phone is... the recycling guy wouldn't take my bin because it had wood in it. So I ran out and removed the wood, in the process, dropping my phone from my shirt pocket into the bin. The guy wasn't happy because I slowed him down, and now I can see that my phone is in the truck on the other side of town, headed towards the recycling center. The Council is going to try to track it down; meanwhile I either buy an new phone or have none. (called Council using Skype).
