stolen phone + ShoZu = pics of phone thief’s family on Flickr

August 30th, 2006 | by amarfresh |

My friend Helen sent this to me today…

My cell phone was stolen last Friday. I had it disconnected and arranged to get a replacement. It had been set up with the excellent service from ShoZu to automatically upload all pictures taken with the phone to Flickr. So today, completely surprisingly, I find pictures on my Flickr account of the family of the person who took the phone. I’m not sure they knew what was happening (they replaced the SIM card with their own, clearly, but probably didn’t notice ShoZu)

As an aside, I recently got my Sprint phone stolen and am hoping that they can track it via GPS. I wish I had ShoZu or the like
