“Selfie experienced a big surge in 2013. It was added to the Oxford English Dictionary and voted word of the year,” James Peckham reports for Know Your Mobile. “One woman experienced a different year of the selfie.”
“After losing her iPhone on January 1 2013 the unnamed woman began receiving the new owner’s selfies via Apple’s iCloud service,” Peckham reports. “The woman has stated she doesn’t believe the man stole her phone, she thinks someone else found it and sold it to the gentleman in the photos. But the man doesn’t stop selfieying and the ex-owner took it upon herself to start a website where she mimics the moustached man throughout the year.”
Peckham reports, “It also doesn’t seem like the man has noticed he’s become an internet phenomenon yet either.”

That’s too rich!
That one from January looks like Justin Long (AKA “Mac”).
If these carriers allowed a “kill switch” on phones then a lost or stolen phone couldn’t be re-sold later as it would be a worthless lump of plastic and metal.
No. You are right both ways.
hahaha — good one!
after amusing herself with the pictures for awhile, she should log into iCloud and lock the phone up with a screen message showing the URL to all the pictures.
Though, only if find my iPhone is on the device.
Just like a woman: Blames someone else for her failure to look after her belongings.

I don’t know you. I don’t know your mother.
But to outrightly blame your mother for your ignorance is beyond me.
No sense of humour have we? Or maybe it’s funny because it’s true..
I don’t know you. I don’t know your mother.
But I wish she’d have kept her legs together instead of conceiving you.
Looks like hercule poirot stole the womans iPhone shame on him lol

i don’t understand. She is receiving the images via iCloud? Why not simply lock the phone? UNless of course she was too stupid to enable find my phone.
Is this a new form of dating ritual?
