The not-so-smooth criminal

Deon Govender's friend had her iPhone stolen. The man believed to have stolen the phone snapped selfies, which were automatically uploaded to the owner's iCloud account....

Criminals are not always watching their steps and technology is actually there to assist us if we know what to do. 

As seen here, a person's home got broken into and an iPhone was stolen. 

What the thief didn't know is that the iPhone is connected to an iCloud account. 

So this guy started taking selfies of himself and those pics were being synced to all the other devices - so the owner could see who the thief was (or perhaps who the thief had sold the phone to?)

Below is an example of one of the pics that he took...he's taken at least 10 photos, including selfies, and some of his family and friends. 

Deon's friend has seen them all! 

Funny and bizarre? 

Do you use technology to your advantage? 

Have you experienced something like this?
