HOUSTON -
A River Oaks man says mysterious photos have begun appearing on his iCloud account, a week after his iPad and other items went missing from his truck.
Randy Schaefer said he awoke Jan. 8 to find his iPad, laptop, checkbooks and cash gone.
He immediately filed a police report but had little else to go on. Then, Jan. 16, while looking at old photos on his phone with his girlfriend, Randy said about a dozen pictures of two men he'd never seen before appeared in his iCloud folder.
he pictures were of two men holding large amounts of cash. Although police have yet to identify anyone as suspects in Schaefer's case, that hasn't stopped him from trying to figure out the identity of the men. He posted the pictures on social media Friday.
"At that point, somebody suggested I post it on Facebook and that led to Reddit," Schaefer said.
He says clues in the photos led him to believe the selfies were taken at a Burger King on Montrose and Westheimer. Schaefer also said one of his missing checkbooks had been found in an alley behind a nearby Starbucks where he had, in the past, connected his iPad to the store's Wi-Fi connection.

They will be attending Harvard next Fall. Entry based on obama legacy, of course...
Bingo!
Yes. A couple of years ago my iPad was stolen while I was shopping at a store. Had stupidly set it down for a while, and it disappeared. It was password protected so others couldn't use it. Soon after when I had access to the Internet I used "Find my iPhone" to locate it, and the service showed it moving around the city and settling down at a hotel. I sent messages to it telling the users to return it (messages appear on the otherwise locked screen with a tone sound). Advised the police with this information in my police report. Then fearing for my personal data, I issued remote commands to wipe all my data. Note that you lose the GPS tracking when remotely wiping data (I had given up on getting it back). It must have spooked the thieves, because the iPad was dropped off at the Lost & Found at the local transit department (although a couple weeks transpired). When you do a wipe, the message appearing on the screen is to connect to iTunes. That possibly scared the thieves. When I connected, iTunes did a full restore of my data.
Figure I don't need the big sarcasm tag after that statement.
So, open the EXIF of the photos and get the gps coordinates, then call the cops.
Thanks for the new target.
Gross.
I see three men.
And don’t keep your “iPad, laptop, checkbooks and cash” in your truck. Yipes!
good idea
Yes, absolutely but the police warn you that going to the house a demanding your iPad back can be dangerous,
Of course. Apple invented the concept. . . and integrated it in their iPhones, iPads, and IMacs operating systems, not as an app. . . before Android was released.
However it is apparent this guy did not turn on his basic password protections, much less take advantage of more sophisticated security. Had he done so, the ipad could have been remotely bricked so it could not even be restored by anyone except it official owner. He chose instead NOT to be inconvenienced by having to input a passcode. That was stupid. Without that passcode, he left his ipad vulnerable to any thief to access anything including turning off such things as "FindMyIPhone", Remote Bricking, etc.
If you want on or off the Mac Ping List, Freepmail me.
It's when you can see what clearly true, right before your own eyes, in 3D,. . . IN STEREO!
Figgers.
Yes, if the iPad's owner had not been so stupid that he had neglected to put in a passcode. By not putting in a passcode, a smart thief merely starts the iDevice, opens Settings, and turns OFF anything like "FindMyiPhone" etc. Oops. Now the owner can't track it! Nor can he lock it or erase his data! Stupid owner tricks.
It would have to connect to a wifi first to find it. I Mac mini works that way.
The stereotype may spread beyond the locality where the attribute was observed and be unfairly applied to another similar population.
For example, every couple of weeks for a couple of hours I become a "person of Wal-Mart". I have never observed at first hand anyone resembling the famous "People of Wal-Mart", even in a mirror :)
Yet that stereotype, and evidence in the form of photos of the observed attributes, exists.
The one on the left favors 0bama... the other, Holder.
