Camera thieves compromised by WiFi enabled SD card

January 4, 2009

Some idiots stole a camera from a friend of mine.

“Idiots?  They can’t be that dumb, they got his camera didn’t they?”

Yes, idiots, because apparently they didn’t check out the SD memory inside the camera, which happened to be an Eye-Fi card.  If they had been in the know, they would have known that these wireless SD cards”upload photos automatically from your digital camera to your computer & favorite photo site.”

The SD card in this stolen camera was set up to automatically send images to my friend’s Flickr account! He’s now found incriminating evidence against the thieves.  Gotcha!

One of my buddies already put this up on Digg so if you like this go Digg it!
