One of my employees had her home broken into by someone on Friday and they stole a lot of stuff that had sentimental value.   She would really like to get it back and I am not sure if someone on here might know how to track photos better than just my imac info feature.
The thief took her 5 year old son's Itouch which is connected to her Cloud account.   Only 1.5 hours after the robbery, photos started getting posted to her cloud account (it is automatic).   The photos show the thief and his girlfriend in selfies and his girlfriend in lingerie wearing some of my employee's stolen jewelry.

Since the time of the first photo is so close to the time of the robbery, she knows they live close but would love an exact location since the local cops here do not seem to give two shits about investigating anything (even when presented with a PHOTO of the thief).

So, if anyone (or if it is even possible) could determine from an exact location where these photos were uploaded to the cloud (Itouch can only use wifi), I would pay 0.5 BTC.

OR, even better, if the law enforcement personnel (who I already pay taxes to support) that lurk on these forums would be willing to use their skills to help catch a criminal, please help.   < that obviously is a joke but it would renew my faith in the world if law enforcement would help.

If they are stupid enough to use the device to take pictures of themselves, I'm sure they are on facebook with a status of #robbedsomepeople

Actually I have done this before when they stole my iPad. Note that it's unlikely but not 100% impossible to use this device online without wifi. You can do two things, try to find similar pictures on the internet to identify them.
Track from where the posted were posted in the cloud, I know how to do this. PM me if you want help!

Upload photos to an upload site.  Then when photo is uploaded, right click and select "copy image location".

Then type this code:

Code:
[IMG]paste here image location[/img]

Upload a sample photo into http://regex.info/exif.cgi to check if geolocation data is available. Your iPod Touch might detect location based on WiFi router.

On a serious note, if there is pictures on the iCloud, then all you need to do is goto:

https://www.icloud.com/

Then enter the Apple ID and password.  Sign in, and click on the "Find My iPhone" button and it will show you the last location it was used.

Should work for iPads, iPods, and iPhones.

Good luck!

You can try to find Geo location in EXIF data, but I'm not sure if I touch stores that info.

Contact the Cloud provider. He might give a list of IPs from which the device connected. Once you have the IP, the police will have no trouble tracing down the thief.

thanks everyone.   I have emailed the pics to someone who answered and seeing if he/she can help me.   I completely failed at being able to upload the photos even with detailed instructions as i do not really use internet photo sites.

1. Sign in to icloud.com/#find with your Apple ID (the one you use with iCloud).

If you’re using another iCloud app, click the app’s name at the top of the iCloud.com window, then click Find My iPhone.

2. Click All Devices, then select the device you want to locate.

In the list, the dot next to the device indicates its status:

A green dot means it’s online.

A gray dot means it’s offline.

If the device is online, its approximate location is shown on the map. The green circle around the device indicates its location (the smaller the circle, the better the accuracy).

Note: If Find My iPhone can’t locate a device, the last known location is displayed for up to 24 hours. Select “Notify me when found” to get an email when it comes online. 3. Do any of the following:

To move the map or zoom in or out, use the map navigation controls in the upper-left corner. You can also drag the map to move it around.

To update a location, click the green dot on the map, then click the Refresh button .

Note: Maps and location information depend on data collection services provided by third parties. These services are subject to change and may not be available in all geographic areas, resulting in inaccurate or incomplete maps or location information.

Perhaps the photos themselves might identify where they are.

Coinsbank: Left money in their costodial wallet for my signature.  Then they kept the money.

As others have stated, all iPhones tag photos with EXIF data which contains GPS coordinates among other information.

Unfortunately, many phones strip this information when pulling it off the phone. Do you have an unaltered photo?

Good luck in catching these assholes.  On a serious note, police officers not wanting to look into it are real asses.  What are they being paid for?
