Man Finds Out Who Stole iPad After Thief Unknowingly Sends Photos to Him

March 16, 2013 Updated Mar 16, 2013 at 2:28 PM PDT

An Arkansas man won't have to get a sketch artist for a picture of the woman he says has his iPad, as she keeps sending pictures of herself to him.

Allen Engstrom said he left his iPad on an airplane and it somehow ended up in the unidentified woman's hands.

But what she might not know is that the device is synced to an iCloud, meaning every time she takes a photo of herself - which she does often - the photo's stream back to Engstrom's family devices.

Though iPads can be tracked on a map or locked, Engstrom said he didn't have any location services turned on.

Without those features enabled it may be gone for good.

Engstrom said he hasn't filed a theft report but with the story going viral he soon will.

He has his name and address engraved on the back and the woman appearing on his social media may be identifiable using facial recognition software.
