Sheriff: Wisconsin iPod Thief Uploads Selfie

OSHKOSH, Wis. (AP) — Winnebago County Sheriff's Office is trying to identify a man who used a stolen iPod to snap a selfie that uploaded to the victim's cloud account.

Detective Craig Quick told Oshkosh Northwestern Media on Wednesday that someone broke into an unlocked vehicle in Vinland in June and stole several items, including the iPod.

He says the victim kept track of his cloud account and later notified deputies that a selfie of the suspect showed up on his account. The suspect appears to be in his 20s.

Quick says the theft highlights the importance of paying attention to the information that people put online.
