Afternoon Orgers,

Bit of ****ty news for a Friday, but my girlfriend had her iphone stolen this morning from the hair salon she works at in Chapel Allerton, Leeds.

Apparently the little ****ers used a deception trick to distract her by pretending to make an appointment while the accomplice helped themselves to the phones. :smt072

They routinely leave their phones at their workstations while cutting hair (only a small salon so everything is in one room and in view, plus mirrors everywhere) so easy pickings for thieves. :rolleyes:

My GF isn't bothered about the loss of her very new and shiny and uninsured iPhone at all, but IS bothered about the fact that there are photos on the phone of her mum who passed away earlier this year. :(

I'm not sure whether she's sync'd it recently, or at all, so doubtful as to whether they'll be on the laptop anywhere.

Anyone know whether there is ANY way of recovering these photo's?? She's understandably devastated about the potential loss...

Not sure if you can download stuff remotely but if she has a apple ID, or is registered on me(dot)com.
You can find and lock the iphone via gps on there, if it's on of course... & only if it's been set up....
But at least the scrotes can't use it

Not much help, sorry!
