A man who lost his iPad has been receiving pictures that have been taken on it since the tablet went missing.

The woman now in possession of the iPad has been taking silly photos of herself, seemingly unaware that the tablet's real owner Allen Engstrom is able to see the images on his iPhone, thanks to iCloud.



The iCloud feature syncs data across more than one Apple device.

Engstrom has been posting the pictures on his Facebook and Twitter pages to entertain his friends and followers, but also in the hope that someone will recognise the woman and help him get his iPad back.

He told KTHV: "I have no problem with putting it on Facebook, because hey, it's fun for me and it's apparently fun for a lot of other people and there's always the chance that someone will say, 'hey, I know who that is'."

Engstrom added: "It's been a continuing fountain of entertainment for me. It's just like I'll wake up one day and they'll be new pictures there and I'm like, 'oh my gosh, she has no idea'."

He stated that his name and email address are engraved on the back of the tablet so the current owner can't have mistaken the iPad for her own.

The woman's pictures have gone viral on the internet, with many offering to help keep an eye out for the culprit.

She might not be the thief though? maybe she just bought a dodgy ipad

[Livia]

I don't think she's cut out for a career as a master criminal.

What a ****ing dolt the first thing you'd do if you had stolen an Apple device is ensure iCloud was switched off. Silly ******

[King Gizzard]

that picture going viral is basically enough punishment as it is Lol

[Ninastar]

The same happened to a girl on my FB... Her iPhone was stolen and the woman who stole it kept uploading pictures to her computer

She used them to give to the police though

[King Gizzard]

She could have just found it somewhere and not thought to return it

Idiot

Yup...

Generally if people steal things like that, its for the profit. So chances are the thief sold it on for cheap and this woman is quite innocent(though stupid)

[Saph]

Omg

[Marsh.]

Well even if she didn't steal it you'd think she'd know it was stolen when it's engraved with someone's details.

Oh I didnt read that far
