Slow news day? Pics taken on "stolen" iPad

[jkfletcher]

RTV6 - iPad user says woman is taking self portraits with his missing iPad - News Story

Woman took her iPad on a plane and left it there on accident, someone picked it up and has been using it to take pictures. The pictures are being synced to the owner's iPhone. Nothing exciting, just thought it was odd to make the front page of Channel 6's webpage

This is awesome...I wonder if the pics contain GPS info...

Engstrom told KATV-TV that his name and contact information are engraved on the back of the iPad so if the woman who has it wanted to return it to him she could.

I'm sure this upstanding member of society will return the ipad to it's rightful owner. He has nothing to worry about.

Ok, maybe not.

Funny thing is that if he inputs the info on his itunes account, the next times she logs onto the internet the iPad will lock.

Silly people.

I'm not entirely positive that thing is human.

She should be easy to find. There can't be that many people with lips like that.....

Technically it's a "found" Ipad, but I get the idea. The should have done the right thing and returned to the owner.

She does thought it was an Obama Pad.

Don't know why he didn't have "Find My iPad" turned on. Then he'd know where it was.

She is just giving it a test run to see if she wants to buy one. She will return it to the owner tomorrow.

There was no theft here, she didn't steal it. The original owner admitted she left it on the plane so it was not stolen. Returning certainly would be the right thing to do, but making that woman out to be a thief isn't right either. If you loose something, the finder of that item is not a criminal. The looser of the item should have been trying to contact the finder and offering a reward for the return of the ipad, not calling making her out to be a thief in front of the whole world.

That's what I thought...and why I put stolen in quotation marks in the title

So the finder of a lost item has no responsibility to return the item? Really?

I'll call her a thief, she knew who it belonged to but chose to keep it. I sold a handgun last week and didn't count the money as closely as I should have and was paid an extra 100.00 so I got a hold of the guy and met up at BGF and returned it. He was a young married guy right out of basic training so a 100.00 was probably pretty significant to him much like a 500.00 ipad. I've found things as well but make an effort to find the owner. For instance I found a goretex jacket on my last mob but nobody claimed it so I kept it. I'm still sure it was another drill sgt's in our office but I asked him multiple times and he didn't want it.

Hey! You found her. See I knew it wouldn't be that difficult!

A moral responsibility yes, but a legal one no. All I'm saying is if you want someone to do something that they don't have to do (like return the ipad that you lost) you should probalby play nice to them.
