A woman who had her camera stolen got a close-up of the thieves when photos they took of themselves were automatically uploaded to her computer.
Alison DeLauzon had her digital camera stolen while she was on holiday in Florida, meaning she had to accept the loss of many treasured family snapshots.
But not only did she get those images back, she also got a few new ones – of the men who stole her camera posing with their prize, totally oblivious to the fact the pictures were being transmitted via cyberspace.
Equipped with a special memory card with wireless Internet capability, DeLauzon’s camera had not only automatically sent her holiday pictures to her computer, but also uploaded photos of the miscreants who swiped her equipment bag after she accidentally left it behind at a restaurant.
