The Android Market offers a few apps for finding your car, all with similar functionality; but according to my investigations, this is the only one with a pirate theme. Dropping anchor: When...

Oh, look, I have some updates. Let’s just hit the “update all” button…wait a sec, where’d my Starbucks Card app go? And what the heck is this Coffee Card? I didn’t install this!
