iPhone Thieves' Nabbed by iGotYa! App That Snaps Their Photos
NYTIMES
iPhone thieves better watch out. iGotYa app is on the market, and it's helping theft victims catch those who dare to leave their hands empty.
A 31-year-old Queens woman is the latest to benefit from iGotYa technology. After a man swiped her iPhone Monday evening, she received an email from the app's servers. It contained a photo of the suspect and his exact coordinates.
His face is now plastered all over the Internet.
Available only from Cyndia, the iGotYa app utilizes the iPhone's front-facing camera.
It takes a picture of whoever inputs the wrong password when unlocking the phone. The app then emails the picture and GPS coordinates to the phone's owner.
Evidence can then be turned over to police.
