Selfie gone wrong: idiot iPad thieves arrested after accidentally uploading photos to iCloud
- 9 years ago
A Houston robbery victim got his iPad back after the idiot thieves who took it inadvertently identified themselves after taking celebratory photos on the device, which automatically backed up to the owner’s iCloud account.
"I think they felt elated that they got away with such a big score," Randy Schaefer told KTRK-TV.
Schaefer’s white F-150 truck was parked outside his River Oaks home on January 8th when two suspects broke in and stole his iPad, $5,000 in cash and his MacBook Pro.
It wasn’t until last Friday morning, though, that he discovered the culprits behind the theft when he checked his iCloud photo stream and found 17 selfies taken by two mysterious men.
The photos showed the suspects posing with stacks of $100 bills and going as far as to put them in their mouths.
A Youtube video surfaced Friday night showing the men throwing up gang signs saying, “this is what you get from a good night’s hustle.”
Schaefer said the selfies were taken on his iPad at a Burger King just two miles down the street from his home.
Some of the other stolen items were found in an alley behind a Starbucks located near the Burger King.
Schaefer believes the suspects connected to the Starbucks Wi-Fi and synced the selfies accidentally to his iCloud account.
Police arrested the dumb duo on Wednesday and charged Dorian Markee Walker-Gaines, 20, and his friend Dylan, 22, with theft.
