London - When her cellphone was stolen, Nikki Sweetman thought she would never see it again.
That was until she logged on to the internet and saw someone had been taking selfies – using her handset.
The poser, a pouting brunette, had apparently not realised the phone was programmed to automatically upload photos to Sweetman’s online account.
After sharing the pictures with her friends – along with a request to “find this tramp” – Sweetman managed to track the woman down and pass her name to police.
Last night, officers were still investigating the theft, which happened while the 23-year-old recruitment consultant was on her way home from a drunken work Christmas party two weeks ago.
After accidentally getting into an unlicensed taxi, she promptly fell asleep.
When she woke, her handbag was missing.
A week later, on Boxing Day, she noticed new photos appearing in her iCloud account of a striking woman.
The photos have since been shared by nearly 35 000 people across the globe.
A Metropolitan Police spokesman confirmed they were investigating, but said no one had been arrested. – Daily Mail
