Stolen iPhone Owner Tricks iPhone Thief Using An App

Find My iPhone app has helped many of its users to track down stolen or lost iPhone's but this story is unique plus funny. Trombonist, Nadav Nirenberg took it all to a next level to get his stolen iPhone back...

According to NYPost, Nadav used a phony online dating profile to trick the thief once knowing who he was by tracking him down using the App. He was told that his phone was being used to send messages to girls. He used the same dating site to trap the crook.


As explained on Nadav’s blog, the thief replied back to confirm he wanted to meet at “her” place.
The bandit knocked on his door at around 7 p.m. holding a bottle of wine. He was clean-shaven and smelled like cologne.
He was ready for a date,” Nirenberg said.
But instead of a kiss, the musician tapped him on the shoulder from behind, flashed a hammer and demanded his phone back.
The crook, who was short and soft-spoken, nervously handed over the cellphone and bolted after Nirenberg handed him $20.
It all took less than 20 seconds.
“As he was walking away, I said, ‘You smell great, though,’ ” Nirenberg quipped.

He got his phone back and all, it sounds funny, it made an interesting headlining story but it wasn't a clever move, he should've had got in touch with the police as he could've had gotten into further trouble.
