iphonemugg iPhone thief caught by owner

Criminals should do their homework on the items that they’re about to steal. Sayaka Fukuda, a shoe designer who moved to the US from Japan was mugged by two thugs who took her purse and iPhone. She then reported it to police but also noticed emails in her outbox which she didn’t send. The lowlife who stole her iPhone had been taking pictures of himself and sending them to his email address from Fukuda’s iPhone which was set up to her email. She told the police who identified him as Dacquan Mathis. Fukuda emailed the perp telling him to turn himself in, he replied with death threats like any “gangsta” would. Lucky for Fukuda the cops were able to pick up the idiot mugger who confessed to stealing an iPod from someone else as well. Note to theives, don’t email yourself from the smartphone you stole.
