Police: iPad Thief's Selfie Found on the Cloud

Maybe it’s a case of divine intervention.

Officials at The Church of the Apostles on Northside Drive say mysterious photos -- including that of a smiling man -- appeared in an iCloud storage account linked to an iPad that had been stolen from the Buckhead church.

Police are now looking for the man who took a selfie with the missing iPad and would like to talk to him about the theft.

The iPad and other electronics went missing from the church on Jan. 12. Shortly after the theft, the church purchased a new iPad and discovered that their old iPad had uploaded five new photos to the church’s cloud account. One of those images was the selfie that has inspired police interest.

Investigators suspect the selfie was taken at a gas station on Cleveland Avenue.

If you recognize the person in the above photograph, please contact Crime Stoppers Greater Atlanta by calling 404-577-TIPS (8477), texting “CSA Tip” to CRIMES (274637), or by submitting a tip online. All tips can be made anonymously.

Crime Stoppers is offering a reward of up to $2,000 for information that leads to the arrest of the suspect.

Tipsters may also be eligible for indeterminate heavenly reward as well.
