Find my phone? Find my thief more like,Security ,Security,Mobile,Apple,cloud computing
A FESTIVAL THIEF who has no concept of action and consequence has been caught with more than 100 smartphones in his bag, because he forgot that users could use “find my phone” to see exactly where he is.
Ravers at the Coachella Festival in California (think Glastonbury, but longer and dry) were able to provide information to authorities, turning him into a walking homing beacon.
Reinaldo De Jesus Henao was then tracked through the site, cornered by disgruntled owners, detained, and some phones were returned immediately, the rest being handed in at lost property.
Mr Henao appears to have quite a thing for Apple products – all of the phones were iPhones.
