| Subject: Do-it-yourself justice - When hitting 'Find My iPhone' takes you to a thief's doorstep Mon May 05, 2014 12:02 am | |
| After a boozy Saturday night, Sarah Maguire awoke the next morning to find that her iPhone was gone. Her roommate's phone was gone, too. Were they at the bar, she wondered, or in the cab?
Using the Find My iPhone app on her computer, she found that someone had taken the phones to a home in West Covina, 50 kilometres east of her West Hollywood apartment.
So Maguire, a slight, 26-year-old yoga instructor, did what a growing number of phone theft victims have done: She went to confront the thieves - and, to her surprise, got the phones back.
"When I told my mom what I did, she thought I was crazy," Maguire said.
