HELP! - My iPad has been lost and I have a PHOTO of the guy who might have it

[TWOCHOICEStom]

The dog's a 'labradoodle'

Thanks.

Also the whole store will be covered by CCTV, if you ask nicely they may be able to watch the tape back if you know when you were there and see how he took it and also get a better picture!

I was thinking that. I'll call them this evening when they'll hopefully be quiet.

Have you done this via Twitter too? Every little helps

 

[Mr Smggles]

I doubt he stole it and is now using it as his, I imagine he stole it and sold it pretty soon after.

The picture of the girl may be the best way to go, how many on here have kids of a similar age, they may be in her class at school

I would VERY STRONGLY recommend that you DO NOT post the picture of the girl.

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

Please don't bring innocents into this by posting a picture of the girl.

 

[TWOCHOICEStom]

I'm NOT going to post a picture of the girl.

Anyone buying stolen goods is just as guilty IMO.

Any dog experts willing to name the type of dog? That might turn something up on Google as there are a few dog forums on the internet.

I would say it looks quite like a Slovakian Rough Haired Pointer. But they are pretty rare over here. I would suggest more of a mongrel than anything, with a bit of German Wirehaired pointer in it.

I meant show the picture to some people to ask their kids if they know her. You could have PM'ed some trusted people on here who are parents.

Not just your opinion, it's the law's.

Not just your opinion, it's the law's.

It has to be proved that they knew, or beleived it to be, srolen.

 

[Vegas Seagull]

Do they sell em in Tesco, if so they MAY have sold a power cable on it's own 5 mins after you lost it..

Defo get in contact with Tesco but ask to meet the store manager as the security guards wouldnt have a clue up there.

Need to go Sherlock on this one. It's a west facing garden. The dog's shadow is cast in front of it and the quality of the light suggests a grey afternoon. Also the bowl behind it would be placed outside the door, because what owner would walk around their garden and put a bowl down on the other side.

And I'm out. Contact the Tesco store and/or Apple IMO.

They have to provide info on how it came to be in their possession and unable to provide a receipt to show that it was bought. Even if it couldn't be proved the op gets his ipad back.

Get in touch with the store manager and ask them "under the freedom of information act" for all cctv footage that you are in. They will have to look through it and give you every bit that you are in, but they can charge you £10 for this. If the yare going to do this rather than make a copy of all the bits you are in they might be happy to just watch it with you and see who took it and then check the cctv from the car park to get a reg number.

Ok, so before Christmas I lost my iPad at Tesco in Holmbush. Somewhere between the checkout and my car it's gone. I didn't realise until I got home. (I know. I'm an idiot)

I've informed the police but unsurprisingly, it's not high on their agenda.

So, the long and short of it is that I had photo stream set up on the iPad and my iPhone so all of a sudden, whilst away for Christmas I get a load of photos through on my phone which were taken with the missing iPad (unfortunately location services were off, so no GPS info - bugger)





After sending the iPad a message via the Find My iPhone app with my contact details I received nothing, so I locked and wiped it via Apple's site.

I've sent the photos to the police, but again, they're not exactly going to go actively looking for this guy.

I AM NOT accusing this person of stealing my iPad, he might not even have it, but if he doesn't he knows who does.

There were some pics taken of a pretty distinctive dog two hours after it went missing (18th Dec - so I'm assuming it's his). There is also a photo of a girl (between 5-10) with the dog, but I don't think I should post that.

They went on holiday on the 22nd December (that's when the last two were taken)

If you think you know him, please don't post anything here, just PM me and I'll forward the details onto the police. I just want it back.

Cheers all.

He couldn't have taken Mark's Blackberry could he! Typical.

Sorry to be pedantic (actually no I'm not, I love being pedantic, I just hope it doesn't cause any offence) but a person's right to material like that is governed by the Data Protection Act, not FoI. The end effect is the same though: technically the recording with you in it is classed as personal data, and unless it's been destroyed, you have the right to make a Subject Access Request under the DPA (and the holder of the data has the right to charge you a tenner, but not everyone does).

This is correct in most instances ( including this one I am sure )
