Flashermac Posted April 30, 2014 Report Share Posted April 30, 2014 Phuket - Police used a location app today to track down within 10 minutes a woman who had stolen a Danish tourist's iPhone. Michael Dybdahl, 51, from Denmark, reported that his iPhone was missing to the Patong Police at 11:30am. "He said a woman visited his room at Bangla House last night, but he could not find his phone after she left," said Lt Col Sutthichai Thianpho of the Patong Police. Dybdahl used the Find My iPhone application to determine that the device was at Soi Phisit Koranee 2. Ten minutes later, officers had Sangwal Singnha, 37, in custody. "We went there and heard an alert sound coming from the woman's pink bag," said Col Sutthichai. "She was charged with theft, and she has accepted the charge." http://www.nationmultimedia.com/national/Light-fingered-woman-undone-by-iPhone-app-30232601.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zen4dummies Posted April 30, 2014 Report Share Posted April 30, 2014 I don't use iPhones but my wife and daughter do. Both have lost their phones but they were returned by honest people. Is the app come with the phone? I make them change to English language if they want me to do anything with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
