Find My Phone nabs Coachella thief holding over 100 stolen phones!


I can not stress enough, the value of locking your iPhone and turning on Find My Phone with iCloud. Not only can it stop a thief from getting into your phone, but from wiping it and reselling it too. Its also helped people get reunited with lost or stolen phones. Well this weekend, Find My Phone also helped nab a pickpocket thief with over 100 stolen phones in his backpack.

After noticing their phones missing, a number of concert goers activated "Find My Phone" to track their missing devices. The victims then worked with security to detain the individual that apparently was in possession of their phones. Once Indio Police apprehended Reinaldo De Jesus Henao, 36, of New York, he was found to have more than 100 stolen phones in his backpack. He was then booked suspicion of grand theft and possession of stolen property.

Many concert goers were reunited with their phones, but some were still unclaimed. If you know of anyone missing their phone from Coachella this last weekend, direct them to the Coachella online lost and found.
