A Nigerian man sparked mixed reactions online after disclosing how he peppered a thief who took his iPhone a year ago. He claimed in his post that he always deletes images from the stolen iPhone using iCloud access because the thief forgot to sign out. According to @mandabe_m, he was robbed of his iPhone last year and has been deleting the thief’s images whenever he gets bored. Surprisingly, the stolen smartphone lacked a passcode, but the iCloud account was still active, allowing the user to remotely erase photos from the thief’s gallery.
