Tom Clarke, pictured, is on the hunt for his stolen iPad after receiving a series of bizarre pictures through the iCloud service within hours of it being taken
A software engineer is attempting to track down his stolen iPad – using photos taken by the thief who made off with the device.
Tom Clarke’s iPad went missing while he was Christmas shopping in Sussex, and he feared he would never see the expensive Apple tablet again.
But after setting up an iCloud stream between his iPhone and the missing device, he has now received several bizarre clues as to the device’s whereabouts.
The 26-year-old has received a series of photos of a dog and a man posing in a woolly hat which were taken using the iPad’s camera.
And after the images were automatically streamed to his iPhone, he is now on the hunt for those who made off with the tablet.
Among the pictures taken on his iPad were snaps of a pet dog and a man smirking while wearing a winter bobble hat.
Numerous
pictures of the small brown dog were taken just two hours after Tom’s
iPad went missing, prompting him to post on an internet forum in the
hope of tracking the thief down.
A further cryptic clue as to the iPads whereabouts was received by Tom when the iCloud service showed him a picture of two pink suitcases being wheeled along by an unidentified figure.
The
plea for help he posted on the Brighton FC fansite ‘North Stand Chat’
has since been viewed 10,000 times, with thousands attempting to track
the iPad down.
Tom realised the iPad was missing on December 19 and informed police within 24 hours. He then sent a message to the device to lock down the tablet and prevent anyone using it.
Tom, from Goring, West Sussex, told Yahoo News: ‘I
was away in Sweden on Christmas Day and I got two emails to say that the
message had been delivered and that the iPad was locked.
In the frame: One of the pictures taken on Tom’s iPad shows this hat-wearing man, who he thinks may know the thief in question
‘I thought at least they’ve seen the message and they might get in contact. Then as I was looking through my photos that day I noticed a picture of a dog, which I thought was a bit weird as I don’t have a dog.’
Tom then discovered that he could not track down the location of the images, as the iPad’s GPS had been turned off.
He added: ‘I don’t want to say it was
stolen as they may have found it on the floor of Tesco’s car park. I’m
not that interested in the person who has it, I just want the iPad back.
Clues: Further evidence as to where the iPad might be came when Tom received photos taken on the device of a small brown dog, and two pink suitcases
‘The guy in that picture is not by any means a thief he just knows the person who has it”.
‘It is just a really personal thing for someone to have in their possession with so many of my details and information on it. If I had something that had that much attachment to it I couldn’t just take it.’
A Sussex Police spokesperson said: ‘We are investigating and have received photos from the iPad to consider.’

Blatant advertorial ! Who goes shopping with a computer too big for their pocket, and how does anyone then steal it ?

Tom – have you tried using Google Search by images? Upload the images and it will pull up any occurence of this photo used online. He may have uploaded to Facebook or a website.

We were burgled a few days before Christmas and my son’s ipad and other items stolen. He had installed the Cloud tracker and the police were able to use this to locate and recover our belongings along with a house full of other stuff. Criminal is now on remand waiting to be sentenced. HA HA! Everyone with an Apple product should install Cloud – it’s so easy.

The iPad is now out of the country. A photo in an airport and a pic of what appears to be a Norwegian man in a Norwegian house. Kiss it goodbye. I’m sure the publicity you’re getting will warrant you another iPad soon.

I hope Tom’s iPad is soon returned to him. It’s awful to lose such an expensive item, but good that the technological wizardry will help track down the person who has it.

And now to add to this rich tapestry of comments.
If it was an android he would have the “Where’s my Droid” app, which would have turned on the GPS and reported back where it exactly was.
And it’s free.

Tom, may be no help. The shutters on the top picture are on the outside. Pretty uncommon here in the UK but widely used throughout mainland Europe. The one with the luggage will be taken at the destination airport. There are baggage handling tags on the luggage. Passengers do not handle the luggage with these tags on until you reclaim them. Good luck With the amount of publicity you are getting with this I am sure you will see it again. Winter destination, possibly flew out of Gatwick if they are local. Very obvious cases and should stick out like a sore thumb on CCTV.

For the benefit of those in society who think ‘finders, keepers’ – TAKING OTHERS PEOPLE’S PROPERTY IS WRONG. Just so you know, and have absolutely no excuse for helping yourself to other’s belongings.
