What not to do when you steal an iPhone..

Strange case out of California, where a rash of purse snatchings were occurring.  One particular woman had her iPhone take in one theft, but luckily her phone helped her in recovering it.  She had an app on the phone called Photobucket.  One feature of this app is that whenever you take a picture, it automatically uploads it to your Photobucket account.  Our thief was unaware of this and proceeded to take a picture of himself for his own pleasure/amusement.  As you can imagine, the picture showed up in her account online.  The picture was a prime feature on the local news and was very helpful in assisting the police in finding him.
