Stolen iPad selfie pair held

Two men arrested in Houston, Texas, have been accused of stealing an iPad and using it to take selfies that they unknowingly uploaded to the owner’s iCloud account.

The men appeared in the photos displaying money they are also accused of taking from the victim.

Investigators arrested the pair on theft charges late on Wednesday.

The iPad, other electronics and thousands of dollars were stolen from the victim’s truck on January 8.

He later noticed his iCloud account had images of the men holding 100 dollar bills.

Some stolen items were dumped behind a Starbucks. The victim believes his iPad connected to the Starbucks Wi-Fi and the images synced to his iCloud account.

He shared the images with the media. The photos ended up online, helping authorities identify the suspects.

The suspects, Dillan Thompson and Dorian Walker, had posted a video on YouTube boasting about thousands of dollars in stolen cash they rounded up from what they called a good night’s “hustle”.

Thompson and Walker took about 17 selfies that upload directly to the iPad owner’s iCloud. That was enough for police to track them down.

“They are not very bright crooks,” said Harris County Pct 1 Constable Alan Rosen.
