Here’s a story of a lost phone which was luckily traced by its legitimate owner from the suspected thief. The thief took several “selfies” using the alleged stolen phone but unknowingly, the images taken were automatically uploaded to the owner’s Dropbox account linked to the phone.Shortly thereafter, the person who took the pictures got traced and put himself in trouble. The alleged thief is now faced with complaint before the authorities. According to the owner, the first photos were taken around the time the phone was stolen. Good thing, for any reason, she was able to link the phone to her Dropbox account and probably this is the best thing she got from it.
For all gadget fanatics, there are several ways to protect your expensive gadgets. For Apple devices, iCloud can help you. Just sign in at iCloud.com or use the Find My iPhone app to see your missing iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or Mac on a map. And with the Lost Mode feature you don’t just see where your device is, you can track where it’s been.
And for Android users, they can now lock their lost devices remotely. Google's Android Device Manager lets users remotely lock a lost or stolen device with a new password. On your Android device, open the Android Device Manager. Check the options to remotely locate your device and to allow remote lock and factory reset if not already checked.
