According to a US court filing, 48-year-old Joseph Beecher broke into billionaire Michael Bloomberg's $45million Colorado ranch with a plan to kidnap the former Mayor's two daughters.After smashing down the property's front gate with a truck, Beecher demanded to know where the daughters were.

Once he realised they weren't at home, Beecher kidnapped the housekeeper (called A.E. in court) at gunpoint and forced her to drive him to a motel hundreds of miles away.

Luckily, the housekeeper brought her iPad with her, which police were able to use to locate her. 'A.E.' told police she was working in an upstairs bedroom at the ranch when Mr Beecher appeared behind her with a gun "pointed at her face" and threatened to shoot her "face off" if she didn't drive him.

Beecher then forced her to take money out of a number of cashpoints and reportedly threatened to shoot passers-by if she called for help.The housekeeper said that after making her book motel rooms under fake names, Beecher made her sleep in the same bed as him with her arm around his waist and her head on his chest.It is unclear whether authorities used Apple's 'Find My' feature to locate the housekeeper, as she left her iPhone behind, but the FBI and state police were able to rescue her and found her unharmed.
