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

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Is the Metro one of the redtops interested? That's the one that would give most widespread coverage in commuterland. By FAR.

Looking forward to the wise-guy tea-leaf's pitiful whingeing already when NSC gets its man!

I just wanted to get one thing straight.

This guy may not know the iPad was stolen. He could well have bought it from the people with the dog.
As someone has said, the lead comes from someone from Hull whose email doesn't work so I'm not that convinced yet.

I've passed on the details to the police so we'll see what happens.

I'm sure one of the NSC crime technicians can hack into Yahoo to find the post from the bloke in Hull, get is e-mail address then it should take about 30 minutes if we use the prat from Lymington as an example.
After 30 minutes we should know his address, have photos of his house, have pictures of his siblings, which footie team he plays for, and know which pubs he drinks in

The lead has been found as well?! NSC even helps the dog out - brilliant!!

He's also the subject of the photo - it's not known if he took it - probably a very innocent party

Probably? Possibly? Who knows. All I know is that finding out his name will help get it back.

Is it just me, or does that read like a line from the Rockford Files...

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Sounds like a case for Inspector Rex

Were's Roy Grace when you need him. I suppose he only does murders. Would be useful though because his clear up rate is better than the real Police!

 

[HAILSHAM SEAGULL]

Dosnt Norman Potting post on here, he works for Roy Grace

possibly, then why is he wearing a stupid hat indoors if it's not for a disguise?

There is also clearly a women's legs in one picture of the dog and she could have easily took it.

Or the girl messing about.

This is quite unbelievable. Really hope you get it back, and get whoever stole it (not necessarily the bloke in the photo) banged up.

Its just the sort of story that mags like "take a break" enjoy, dont forget if the mags call you ask for some dosh, as you may as well earn a few quid!!

[Fred Oliver - Legend]

[Southstandfaithful]

What an amazing story, I saw your post yesterday and came back today to see if you had any luck - can't believe how quickly it's story has spread. Good luck I hope you get your iPad back very soon.

It's on the Daily Mail website now!!!

Software engineer attempts to track down missing iPad - after receiving bizarre pictures from its camera two hours after 'thief' took device | Mail Online

 

[Lady Gull]

Excellent!!!!

 

[Bedsex]

Wow, what amazing things the NSC collective can do! What shall we turn our attention to now? Shall we solve the European debt crisis?

Yep - meant to put 'possibly'. That's the Guardian reader coming out in me.

The Daily Mail reader on the other hand says 'HANG THE BASTARD!'

 

[Eric Potts]

How about solving the Albion goal-scoring crisis?

 

[Beach Hut]

This is quite funny, I wonder who actually nicked it or actually if found and kept is that an offence ?

 

[fire&skill]

I love the way 'The Mail' describe the man as 'smirking'.
