On New Year's Day, 2013, Danielle Bruckman realized that she had lost her iPhone at some point during the partying of the previous evening. Where was it? She had no idea. But soon, a mysterious man began taking selfies with her phone. She knew this because they appeared on her cloud storage service. As an art project, Ms. Bruckman imitated them. You see the complete series here.
Ms. Bruckman wants to emphasize that she isn't accusing this man of stealing her phone. She writes that, "My phone was lost and most likely picked up by someone else who sold it or gave it to him. Just want to make sure people stop calling him a thief."

What I don't get about so many selfies is there's always someone taking a photo of the person taking the selfie...what's with that?

I call BS. There is a free app that allows one to find the phone via GPS.

@ ChrisW - and if he unwittingly purchased it from someone who said it was their "old phone"? We'd have to assume he's not too tech savvy.

Even if he didn't steal it, his finding it and keeping it constitute theft in my book.

He's not a thief, he's a "victim of severe kleptomania, and we should try to help him *sad face*".
