To Catch An iThief

[Wildfire]

Woman whose iPhone is stolen on Disney cruise outs 'snatcher' after it automatically posts pictures
he took to HER account!

A woman whose iPhone went missing on a Disney Cruise was able to catch the alleged thief after photos he took with her phone
began popping up in her ‘cloud’ – the feature that stores and syncs all personal documents.

Katy McCaffrey, who went on the cruise last month, began noticing that photos started to pop up in her iCloud account.

Included in those photos were pictures of her alleged iPhone thief on the cruise ship, viewing the sunset, going to parties, and
drinking with other crew members.

In an effort to reclaim her phone, Ms McCaffrey created an album on Facebook entitled ‘Stolen iPhone Adventures.’

It shows 20 pictures of a man she calls ‘Nelson’ taking advantage of her phone aboard the Disney Wonder.

The disgruntled cruise-goer was able to see the pictures because of an Apple feature called Photostream, which
automatically uploads all photos taken with the iPhone to their iCloud account.

Nelson, it seems, was too busy having a good time to check whether or not Photostream was activated.

The feature can be turned off with a simple on/off switch in the phone’s settings.

Rebecca Peddie, the Manager of Public Affairs at Disney Cruise Lines, told MailOnline that the crew member in question has
been placed on administrative leave.

She said: ‘We take these matters very seriously. We have a zero tolerance policy for this type of behaviour,' adding that the
phone has been recovered and will be returned to its owner as soon as the Wonder returns to port.

Daily Intel notes that there could be a large margin of error for the employee’s culpability, including whether or not
Ms McCaffrey reported the device missing or if he somehow purchased the phone from another person without knowing the
original source.
