Pictures Need The Planet's Help/Stolen phone and Mayhem - Page 3

WilliamTheIrish · 04-22-2013, 10:42 AM

Hi folks!

By way of bad luck and bad human intervention I had my 7 week old Note2 stolen from my office.

I had it password protected, but it was a simple code and the thief/thieves got it. The phone has been deactivated. However, it still makes emergency calls and the little ne'er do wells made a 911 call stating that an injured person was at that specific residence and that resulted in a gentleman getting his two front doors kicked in by police as he was coming home from work.

The call was fake but the damage doen was real and I had to talk to the KCK PD for a good while until it was straightened out. The worst part is they got my SD card full of thousands of photos and .gifs and 24 hours of music.

The interesting part of the story is this: On Saturday, I got an email notification that images had been uploaded to my dropbox account. Nothing that could be made out easily. But I remembered that they had to uploaded using wifi from somewhere. Hopefully a house.

Question 1: How do I get my carrier to dig into this and give me or the cops the IP address? Is that even possible?

On Sunday I received another notification that images had been uploaded. This time of a kid about 6 or 7 months old.

Question 2: If this kid has pictures on facebook or the web, can I use google reverse image search to find other images and possibly an identity?

How does it work? Just C&P the image into google?

Anything you can give me would be helpful.

OK, nothing seems to be happening. Although I'm still awaiting a possible GPS fix on the images uploaded to dropbox.

Exif data could help assuming you geotag your photos.

You could drive around and call it while listening for it to ring. lol

If it was stolen from your office how large of a list can that be of possible suspects? Also if you had it connected to your corporate exchange server you should be able to at least remotely wipe the device through your webmail service. The remote wipe wont recover your phone but it will at least remove your info

It's a busy hospital. I hadn't synced the new phone to the exchange server. I was using my old phone for via wifi for all work email.

I'm certain it was a family member of a patient. The difficult part in this is I could contact the patient but I could get in trouble (HIPAA) for using that info to track somebody down. It's a delicate situation info-wise.

Good news/bad news update:

Bad News: I can't do a GD thing about it.

So how did you find out it was him?

WilliamTheIrish · 04-29-2013, 08:32 AM

Her.

Wish I could say more.

Great ending.

In a situation like this, you can ask yourself two questions:

What Would Walter White Do?

or

What Would Tyrion Do?

Therein lies the correct answer to catch the thieving little hussy.
