The Thieves Who Stole My Iphone by olsmade(m): 12:50pm On Dec 10, 2012
It was not just another Saturday as my elder brother was tying the knot that fateful day. I was wearing the native Yoruba 'up and down' (buba and soro). At the end of the church service, we took turns to take pictures with the new couple. In the frenzy of taking pictures n guests leaving, I felt a tug on my buba and then another one after which I looked back and saw an elderly man which gave me the impression that I was mistaken but to be double sure, I checked all the items I had on me and alas, my iPhone was gone. I had somebody check where I sat in church but it was nowhere to be found. I dialled my number immediately but somebody kept cutting the call. I however have a tweak installed on my iPhone that prevents you from switching off the phone from the lockscreen if you don't know the password. The tweak also snaps your picture with the front camera n sends it to my email. After about 20 mins, a few pictures started getting to my mail and to my greatest surprise, what I saw was indeed very surprising. Check out the faces of my iPhone thief n his accomplices. Unfortunately Im not based in Lagos and I'm returning to my PPA. The people at the church (st Paul's Anglican church, Agege) don't seem to know him.

edit: the tweak is called iGotYa and you have to install through cydia. It is an alternative to findmyiPhone
pictures no longer showing - i guess the mods are not cool with it. check out the original link in the crime section at https://www.nairaland.com/1127095/thieves-stole-iphone-pics-included

trying to locate the owner? Im trying to locate them too. let them bring it on.

damage their rep? thats the whole idea. + arresting them too. getting my phone back now might be a long thing. In saner climes, dey would be behind bars already.
