Lost my phone, person who stole it now taking pics that upload to my google+

[nicname]

So, I lost my phone a few months ago in Wichita. The last I saw it was at the Palace movie theater.  I located it, called the theater, etc., but they couldn't find it. I also went back to check, nothing. After that I had the service cancelled on the phone and everything, thought I had it bricked up. 

Lo and behold, today when checking my email I get a notice that I have new pictures uploaded to my picasa/ google+ images. "WTF" I think to myself.  I never synched google+ to my new phone.  I check the image and it is some chick.  Google asks me if I would like to review all the new images that have been uploaded to my google+ album. What do I find? Tons of pictures from some dude who found my phone and started using it.

This could be a fun game were goEMAW helps you find the location of your phone based on pictures you share.

Post the pictures and we will solve this crime

depending on the phone, software, etc there can be metadata embedded in the image files.  you should just post them (unprocessed) here

Post the pics here and on TMB with the caption "Dirty rotten phone stealers".

First thing this dude decides to snap pic of or record? A mouse on a trap that he caught with a piece of popcorn.

Hmm that background noise could be a clue.

Do they still have Crimestoppers? 

You should print out flyers with this picture and post a reward of 1,000 for any information relating to this dude's positive identification.  But, in the fine print note that the reward will be paid in pesos...which is about $76 at today's exchange rate.

An evening for two at Cheddar's.

Also, that crazy broad puts a giant pile of jalapenos on her popcorn!

OMG, I know!  Is that a real thing????

Save those pics, just in case this dude figures out how to access the account and deletes them.

They have pics of their kids and stuff at their house but gps coordinates aren't on for those pictures. The gps coordinates are on for a few of the pics in public places.

I honestly don't care that I have my phone. I'm only worried about possible access to passwords, etc.  I thought when I had Sprint (crappy phone company) brick the phone it would render it unusable.

I'm not going to post pictures of the kids.

this has all the ingredients to become a classic

I'd call the cops, dude.  Seriously, just for the intrigue of the deal.

Understood, but I think this fella gave up the expectation of privacy when he started using a found/stolen phone, IMO.

Deep in the amway game.

I really wish one of the "at home" pics had gps.  I'm still looking.

I'd like to drive over to their house, knock on the door, ask for my phone and then smash it into a million pieces on their front porch.
