New York City musician, 27 year old Nadav Nirenberg left his phone in a taxi cab on New Year's Eve and he learned via email that someone was sending messages to women using a dating app on the phone.
When he called the phone, whoever had it apparently turned it off when his call came in, and so Nirenberg realized that the person holding the phone had all intentions of keeping it.
He decided to log onto his service and pose as a 24 year old young woman, using a photo that he found on Google Images. The thief took the bate and responded to his messages.
The thief showed up at Nirenberg's apartment with wine, he greeted him with money and a hammer, in case he had to fight to get his iPhone back.
Needless to say the thief never thought twice about handing over the iPhone.
The matter wasn't turned in to the police, so no charges will be filed.
Personally I would have opened a can of whupass on him, and he would think twice about keeping someone elses personal possessions the next time.
