A Tumblr of pictures from a stolen phone

If you've ever had your phone stolen/ lost, and made everyone you know call your number over and again in the hope of reaching out to the thief, somehow hoping against hope that you can convince him/her to return it to you, then this new Tumblr blog will be a treat for you.

The publisher of Life of a stranger who stole my phone had her phone stolen in Spain. Four months later, she finds a bunch of photos in her Dropbox app folder. The Dropbox app allows its users to automatically upload photos from their smart-phones onto the internet.

So the guy using her phone hasn't yet realised that the app is still active on the device and transferring the pictures he takes, to the lady whom it was stolen from. She, on the other hand, grabbed the opportunity and started a blog featuring the times and life of this man from Dubai, whose pictures leave little to one's imagination.

And here's another Tumblr from 2011, with a similar tale and a happy ending - thisguyhasmymacbook.tumblr.com
