KEARNY, N.J. – If you’re going to steal an iPhone, it might be best to stay away from social media. Looks like this guy didn’t get the memo, though.
New Jersey police are looking for a thief who apparently likestaking selfies. They said a man stole an iPhone May 16 and then posted a close-up of his face on the Instagram story of the phone’s owner.
Big mistake.
Now, police are using the photo of the bespectacled, bearded man with brown eyes and possibly a shocked look on his face to locate the thief.
