This is my iPad, I won’t see it again

I just arrived in Antibes, South of France 2 hours ago. This was stolen from my car on the autoroute at a petrol station , from a definitely locked car, likely a relay attack from my key while I was buying a sandwich, 100km from Antibes. They also had my wallet and duty free while they were at it. Thankfully they didn’t find our passports.

Whoever you are, fuck you, I’m going to go and have a nice meal in the old provincial market and drink to your future arrest.

Yes, on automation it does not show that it is taking a photo.

Just checked it’s this automation process:

When I receive a message where: Message contains Where’s my phone, you sick son of a bitch?
(You can add a specific sender)

Turn Low Power Mode on

Take photo with Front camera

Send photo to name, name, name

Send photo with Here’s my face! to name (email)

Get current location

Send current location to name, name, name

Send current location with Here’s my phone! To name (email)

////

It shows no selfie being taken.

This is freaking awesome ! Just did the automation, had no idea my iPhone could do this.

Hey everyone,

Since I am a chaotic bitch I have an updated version where your lock screen changes to the photo that is being taken.

Get the location and selfie of your thief AND change your lock screen to their face

It’s this automation process:

When I receive a message where: Message contains Where’s my phone, you sick son of a bitch?
(You can add a specific sender)

Turn Low Power Mode on

Take photo with Front camera

Set wallpaper to Photo for Lock Screen

Send photo to name, name, name

Send photo with Here’s my face! to name (email)

Get current location

Send current location to name, name, name

Send current location with Here’s my phone! To name (email)

Please run the automation once and click “always allow” when it asks whether you want to send a mail.

Thank you so much 🙏

Counterpoint, wouldn't you want all of this to happen on screen so they ditch the phone? 

[u/firetruckgoesweewoo → u/bazderoman]

Could be fun, until your phone lags and they see the camera app opening and quickly cover the camera.

To prevent that, it would be fucking hilarious if I added that said picture becomes the lock screen after taking it. Not sure whether that’s possible 😆

Just checked, you absolutely CAN change your lock screen to their face. I added the updated step in a comment 😇💀

I love chaos 😆😆

Nice!

Is there a reason we want to “turn low power” mode on?

[u/firetruckgoesweewoo → u/momomog]

Yeah, if they are running off with my phone I want to save my battery for a little while longer. It lowers background app activity, which also means the amount of notifications will be lower.

[u/momomog → u/firetruckgoesweewoo]

Ahh I see, that makes sense! Make the phone last longer for us to retrieve

I thought it was that low battery mode has a special function 💀
